President Cyril Ramaphosa says the country needs to re-look the manner in which the South African National Defence Force SANDF sets up military exercises with other countries forces.
Ramaphosa was responding to questions about the participation last week of Iran, in the Will for Peace naval exercise near Simons Town in the Western Cape.
Pretoria is said to have had misgivings about Irans participation, after reports of Tehrans brutal crackdown and killing of citizens protesting the countrys deepening economic crisis.
