South Africa is playing down its efforts to get the three African countries -- Angola, Cameroon and Guinea -- sitting on the United Nations Security Council to vote against a resolution that would clear the way for the United States to launch an attack on Iraq. South African foreign affairs officials insist the country is not lobbying for the African nations represented on the Security Council to vote against the resolution. ''We are not lobbying anybody. Those countries are aware of African Union (AU) and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) resolutions against the war,'' says a spokesperson for the South African Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Ronnie Mamoepa.
