South Africa's Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Naledi Pandor, has sparked controversy by stating she doesn't know if Iran is an authoritarian regime, pushing back against characterizations of it as a dictatorship. This has led to speculation in the South African media about Iran's ties to the ANC. Pandor's comments come amidst ongoing discussions about Iran's political system and its relationship with South Africa.
