Exclusive briefing from John Steenhuisen on his Ukraine visit

Reporting back from his visit to war-torn Ukraine, the Leader of the Official Opposition, John Steenhuisen, gives us his hot-button take on the implications of the war for the world, for South Africans and for the future of our country’s international relations. In one of the largest wars of this century, brought about by the unprecedented act of illegal Russian aggression, the ANC national government has chosen to remain silent. Tacitly concerned with maintaining a tenuous relationship with Putin’s pariah regime, the ANC national government’s ministers and ambassador at the UN have stretched credulity to avoid condemning Russia for its crimes against humanity. These include the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, genocidal outrages, and the hampering of evacuation and humanitarian relief efforts. This has caused the displacement of millions at a time when the world is already bracing for a series of catastrophes. South Africa’s world-class constitution is rightly celebrated for its enshrinement of human rights, yet time and again the ANC national government sides with the most prolific human rights violators and pariahs of the world. #StandWithUkraine #NotInOurName #SouthAfricanSolidarityWithUkraine
