The SA National Defence Force’s SANDF military exercise with Russia and China, dubbed Exercise Mossi II, has caused a stir, with Action SA charging that South Africa cannot be a testing ground for Russian weapons. Full story here➡️
Action SA leader Herman Mashaba said in statement that SA cannot afford to become involved in a new cold war between the West and the East, at a time when the country’s own house is falling apart.
“At a time where our economy is already struggling, the reality is that we cannot afford to alienate major trade partners by becoming a participant in Russia’s military propaganda, which offers no clear benefit to SA,” he said., which he claimed has never been seen in public and was believed to be nearly unstoppable.
Mashaba said the Russian-Ukrainian war has already brought immense suffering to the people of SA in the form of rising fuel and bread prices and resulted in thousands of civilian deaths in both countries.“It is concerning that the ANC-led government would contribute in any way to escalating the war. The ANC-led government should respect international rule of law and follow [Nelson] Mandela’s dream of SA using the international stage as a champion for human rights.
