Tensions between the United States (US) and Iran continue to escalate, with growing instability in the Strait of Hormuz threatening one of the world's most critical oil shipping routes. From vessel seizures to intensified fears of prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies, the ongoing developments have drawn direct attention from AfrIca's largest economy, South Africa (SA). 

The country's Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister has confirmed that government will send a delegation to the Strait of Hormuz to assess the geopolitical and economic risks facing global fuel supply chains and SA's own energy security.

Joining us now to reflect on these developments is Dr Sizo Nkala. Senior Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg Centre for Africa-China Studies.
