The South African government is creating a growing public relations disaster, domestically and internationally, with its diplomatic egg dance about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
One former Western diplomat in South Africa said he was stunned by South Africa’s apparent indulgence of what he called the “medieval barbarity” of Russia’s invasion and its intensifying bombardment of civilians in many Ukrainian cities. The Ukraine text included condemnation of Russia as the cause of the humanitarian crisis. South Africa put forward an alternative resolution that removed any reference to Russia.
Ukraine and other, particularly Western, nations also felt that SA was acting as a “stalking horse” for Russia, by presenting a resolution that was favourable to Moscow.

😭😭😭😭😭
Im glad Cyril didnt choose a side. Anyone who turns a blind eye to these endemic excesses by the Ukrainian forces shares their guilt. No wonder they are eager to push South Africa into their side. Tell me how do you justify THIS in the 21st century
Putin is a rich man, and money is the only language the corrupt ANC understands.
Thatha Putin Thatha
Go and tell your master Soros that SA is not Ukraine and we don't want anything that concerns his blood dripping wealth in SA. SA stand with Russia. Hang on why not report on the US and UK killings in Sanaa Yemen as we write? Traitors
We are not a NATO poodle nor Americans, how do we as African side with people that oppressed and colonized us for over 300yrs? The Daily Marvrick have become an American mouth piece.
Frankly considering this, 👇and how South African media turns a blind eye to it, Cyril and the ANC govt did well not to choose a side & support Neo-Nazi thuggery and endemic gross human right abuses by Ukraine and its army. They owe us a big explanation.
This starts to feel like the days of HIV doesn’t cause AIDS in 🇿🇦 When powerful people say the wrong things, a lot of innocent people die.
No surprises there's.its how the anc approach everything in the country. wishy washy Side with the perpetrators of human rights abuses Make no waves with major western alliances Allow everyone a voice even the murderous rapists Idiots!
Egg dance? Seriously? It is a clusterf**k.
Why are black people telling Europeans what to do in Europe while refusing to listen to European voices in South Africa? Bit of hypocrisy there, Abwethu?
