South African President Ramaphosa said on the 6th that South Africa “completely opposes” US military action against Venezuela and called for the immediate release of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. While attending an event in Johannesburg's Soweto district on the same day, Ramaphosa said that the US action seriously infringes on Venezuela's “sovereignty and territorial integrity,” and South Africa is seriously concerned about this. Ramaphosa said that South Africa has always supported the United Nations Charter and international law, and opposes any act that undermines the independence and security of sovereign countries. He called on the UN Security Council to effectively carry out its duties of maintaining international peace and security and take decisive action on the current situation.
