South Africa-US Rift Widens? Ramaphosa Open to Russia, Iran Nuclear Deals | Firstpost Africa | N18G

South Africa says it is open to deals with Russia and Iran to achieve its nuclear power goals. South Africa’s Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources said Pretoria is open to nuclear energy bids from Russia and Iran for its plan to expand civilian nuclear power capacity. South Africa is home to Africa’s only nuclear power plant. South Africa’s decision to take up Russian and Iranian bids comes at a time when it faces intense scrutiny from Washington. US and South Africa ties nosedived after President Donald Trump’s executive order halted aid to Pretoria and accused it of renewing its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military and nuclear arrangements.

  1. Is it right to hurry decisions and do we need to make enemies or make friendship with all of them because there is something that we need from all of them
    Sometimes we need to choose carefully we are all human there is a gap for reconciliation ln such such situations us the poor we suffer economically

  2. The USA buys more from SA than it sells to SA. Russia, China and India sells more to SA than it buys. By SA shutting out the USA, the ANC is hoping Russia, China and India will take USA's place and buy more from SA. Really?! That is what we get for our 30% maths pass rate.

  3. Why is there seeming reluctance by S Africa to seek help from BRICS nations? One would think that would be the logical thing to do since joining BRICS already placed SA at enmity with the USA.Would any good flow from USA to SA at this stage? I think it is time S Africans dig their toes in, and start to use their substantial wealth towards self-sufficiency. Also, AES is beckoning. To heed the call is to take a giant step towards African unity.

  4. Rama’sofa can’t even keep the lights on in his own country by maintaining the pre-independent established electrical infrastructure—never mind upgrade it to support current needs—case in point the ongoing load shedding struggles straining the local economy. What makes any responsible adult think that he, and his ANC Jihad orientated organization, can manage nuclear responsibilities?

  5. 30 years????????
    You don't listen to anybody except your co-workers!!!

    PROUD Africans?????
    No we're not!!!
    We became beggars like our politicians, just, we do not see one cent of any monies given to you!!!
    Dont let us debate THAT one!!!!
    We can solve our own problems??????
    How, when in 30 years have we or the ANC did THAT, specify … dont just bubble cheap talk, where and when!!!!

    Well
    For the FIRST damn time these past 30 years of POVERTY and HELL in this Country YOU politicians are being call to order and discipline NOT bullied!!!!

    We were bullied by the ANC, stolen from, murdered, neglected, lay down and bleed on empty promises and the list are endless what the ANC did to this RICH and beautiful Country.

  6. I love it when God stepped in, the battle for the ANC and other SA political parties are defeated already …. Glory to God Almighty, He is just SO incredibly faithfull

    Dare to touch any child of God from now on, He will the deal RIGHTEOUSLY with all your workers of iniquity/unrighteousness to benefit ONLY yourselves!!!!!!
    You only reap what you sow, its reaping time for you HALLELUYAH!!!!!

  7. Oh dear, South Africa probably will not select the US to build a nuclear power plant in South Africa because the US has decided to not provide South Africa with billions of free money, which would be needed to pay the US to build the power plant..Am I missing something here? This is a problem for the US how????

  8. When the title says they dumped Trump yet the article says they “may” work with Russia or Iran, indicates your interest in clicks and advertising dollars, not reporting anything that has really happened. News needs to stop being speculation.

  9. That’s a way of saying musk I hate you, so he’s going after all SA since he has to kiss the ring and drink the kool aid of musky, if he doesn’t he’s afraid of going to jail, you think Putin has tapes, musky got more than tapes 😂😂😂

  10. We're not concerned about Ramphosa. We have about 7 billion trade deficit with SA. They aren't really great partners in trade so by all means, go talk to Putin. You're in BRICS already, yes? So what is so new about that? We are going after Iran, so I wouldn't count on their help down the road. We're going to level their nuclear sites. SA isn't exactly giving us a lot of stuff that we need. You're having trouble with other nations in the U.N.. Hey, I have a suggestion. Go to India and ask them to give you nukes. Let's see how that works, guys.
