South Africa: Minister Nkoana-Mashabane Must Come Clean About Burmese Ambassador's Past

press release

The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has denied a Democratic Alliance (DA) request for a copy of the credentials of the Burmese ambassador to South Africa, Myint Naung, on the grounds that the documents contained "confidential correspondence".

We have reason to believe that this is just a pretext to hide the truth about the Burmese ambassador's past and to prevent the close scrutiny of the Department's decision to accept his credentials.
