The transparency non-profit organisation, Open Secrets, and the Southern African Litigation Centre (SALC) last week launched an urgent Gauteng High Court application in Pretoria to review the sale of weapons made in South Africa to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been accused of diverting arms to Yemen, where there is an ongoing civil war.
News24 spoke to the head of investigations at Open Secrets, Michael Marchant, about what the court case entails, whether South African-made weapons have been used in the war, and why South Africans should care about the court case.
