South Africa: Outrage as Russia's Naval Ship Docks at Cape Town | Firstpost Africa
The recent docking of a Russian navy ship at Cape Town harbour has triggered outrage. The Ukrainian Association of South Africa has expressed anger saying the incident calls into question South Africa's purported neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Democratic Alliance, President Cyril Ramaphosa's coalition partner, has also condemned the incident as "cosying up to Russia". Amid the outrage, the South African National Defense Force said the Russian vessel docked for re-supply purposes. South Africa and Russia share decades-long ties. Both countries are also BRICS partners. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has also refused to criticise Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Watch this video for details.

That is interference of activism in the internal affairs of South Africa.

[@davidbowman5646]

Hello Do you remember when the SMO first began and many people fled Ukraine west to NATO countries? The neighbors, especially Poland let people flood across their borders EXCEPT for about 40 young exchange students from African countries. Those kids had to camp out in freezing weather and fend for themselves because the Poles wouldn't let them in even for transit. Shameless!

[@daviddadah]

@@davidbowman5646 Yes I remembered very well, they Ukrainian presidential advisor insulted the African heads of state, that they were known to be beggars of food and not negotiators, that was the indirect insult, so then my question is who are the activists who called themselves Ukrainian whatever, when the Africans were insulted? Now the Ukrainian President is having the NATO and European leaders in their pocket, and the western leaders jumped when Zelenskyy cough, when he catches cold, every one of them is kissing his backside. They may dare the western leaders but African leaders must stand resolute and head held up high whether they are beggars or not. The current South African President was part of that delegation. The relationship between nations is clearly spelt under the United Nations chatter, what is the national interest of South Africa should be considered on their priority list as deserving, if Russia is what they want to identify with is not the problem of another country. If they can’t stop the Ukrainian President from leading the world to world war 3, why should they have the obligation to stop another country far away from their shores? It is not that it matters to me whom Russia partners with, but here is one thing I have been asking African leaders to prioritize, every single African country should invest into agriculture to feed their population, that is the basic, the second is work out the modality and back their national currency with gold, transfer their foreign reserve which is held in another country’s currency to the stock market of a neutral country, and learn to invest overnight with their national reserve which is sitting in the central bank of another country which they use as yardstick against them, and to control their economy and financial markets, these are the gimmicks of the colonialist, they have not changed, African masses to dare and vote for leaders who can stand for their national flag, and lead their countries out of colonial exploitation. South African defense forces doesn’t have the mandate to explain nothing to any outside bully what they want to do, they should respect their national flags and rally after their country’s interest. The government of South Africa should not bow down to any foreign powers not from the west or from the east, they should decide what their priorities are and go after them. The country that respects them and accorded them with respect, integrity, Security. The most sanctioned country in the world is Zimbabwe, but Mogabe held high his head in dignity till his last breath. But most current leaders in the continent capitulate under pressure, afraid of sanctions or to become unpopular with the west or Europeans politicians, they are afraid of their shadows, the unknown consequences of throwing money into wars, wait for the outcome, it happened in the 1970, it happened in Iraq, it is happening in Ukraine, and the assumption that they created and printed their own money is illusion because money market has its own principles whether you print money or not, the impact would soon be felt across the world. You can be deceptive and fooled yourself but not natural principles, no one control nature, it control itself, what you throw into the natural engine that is what would be processed back to you, but the world leaders don’t learn, do they no?

I think this news channel is anti South Africa. First, South Africans where called xenophobic because South Africans questioned why Chichi now Miss Nigeria was participating in a Miss South Africa beautiful pageant but she's not a South African. Which later tuned out that a South African identify was stolen at birth so that Chichi can have a smooth life. This journalist never even came back to report in those findings but continues calling South Africans xenophobic. Now this? Something is off.

[@bigboyindhouse8142]

So you say. But Ukraine is being attacked for sticking with their allies, and you South Africans are in support of the attack.

[@patricklama8982]

​@@bigboyindhouse8142 You send weapons to Ukraine to fuel a war, yet South Africa has not provided weapons to either Ukraine or Russia. South Africa remains neutral, focusing on its own national interests. So, explain how South Africa is supporting or attacking anyone in this conflict. If you are a Westerner, please refrain from commenting further. Your history is filled with the discrimination and enslavement of Black people. Stop pretending to be innocent, as you are complicit in past atrocities, including collaboration with apartheid, yet you still attempt to lecture the very people you once oppressed.

[@WillMyburgh]

What the hell is the Ukrainian Association doing in South Africa? And what has the docking of a ship got to do with a neutral stance in a war? That is exactly what neutrality means - you don’t take a stance either for a country or against a country.

The Democratic Alliance party members in South Africa should never have anything to say about the Russians in South Africa. While the Democratic Alliance party members were enjoying the Apartheid government rule in South Africa and the injustice of the South Africian people, the Russian gave the victims guns and Armunitions to fight for their rights Justice, lives, and existance. The Almighty God is real. Who are the Democratic Alliance people? Are they the keepers of the Apartheid government?
