PRETORIA —
South Africa is looking forward to resuming trade with Iran, including oil imports, after a nuclear deal was struck between Tehran and six majors powers, the foreign minister said on Wednesday.
"Of course if sanctions are lifted that's a win-win situation and South Africa will also benefit from that," Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said in response to a question about resuming oil imports from Iran.
Iran was once the biggest oil supplier to South Africa, which is Africa's second-biggest crude consumer, importing around 380,000 barrels per day.
