“Cargo destined for SA passing through Strait of Hormuz ‘without interruption’, says Mantashe”
DISPUTED
The claim asserts cargo for South Africa passed through the Strait of Hormuz without interruption. However, Wikipedia evidence directly contradicts this, stating the Strait was closed during the 2026 Iran war causing 'the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market' (Economic impact of the 2026 Iran war). The 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis entry also confirms ongoing geopolitical disruption since February 2026, which would impede uninterrupted cargo passage.
