South Africa's governing African National Congress has long-standing ties to Moscow, which supported its struggle against a racist apartheid regime that many Western states considered a Cold War ally...said Cobus van Staden of the China-Global South Project. As Russia and China now seek to build new international coalitions, he said that history is coming to the fore in Africa where some nations are keen for alternatives to Western hegemony.

Is South Africa western?
Reuters makes excuses for their embrace of the new totalitarian world order. Lovely. Communists love racism, it lets them go wild.
Now that’s strange. I mean, if Russia is unreasonable to get nervous about what Ukraine right there on it’s border is doing, why would DC care about what South Africa 8000 miles away is doing?
Doublethink.
Well, I am sure the ANC is in -some- sort of alliance with the Democrat party.
I’m curious about the crew of these ships…..
russia was/is not nervous about Ukraine at all.
russia invaded Ukraine to increase its “empire”
The ANC (African National Congress) been running South Africa for the last 30 years.
The ANC has had a political and activist alliance with the South African Communist Party since 1961.
The ANC also has a political alliance with the Congress of South African Trade Unions.
The current President recently signed legislation that empowers the government to confiscate white owned property without compensation.
Not hard to guess where all this is going.
My what progress South Africa has experienced since Apartheid. That Mandella sure was a visionary.
First I’ve heard of the “Belt and Road Initiative”!
I ought to be in Sleepy Joe’s administration!
The ANC was taken overlong ago by the South Africa Communist Party (SACP). It has never been democratic.
The Sen. Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Comm., held very important and penetrating hearings on the ANC/SACP in the early 1980s before it was abolished by the Democrats.
It included testimony by two former ANC high ranking members. One Democrat senator purposely revealed the true identity of one of the witnesses which allowed the communists to assassinate him.
Unfortunately I don’t have immediate access to the 2 volumes hearings right now but it should be on the internet if you are interested to learn what was in them and who the Democrat betrayed was.
“Is South Africa western?”
Well, it WAS...but 30 years ago, I remarked to a visiting white South African to move away.
There are still traces of Western culture and industry, but the outlook is DOOM!
They are joking BRICS.
“South Africa’s naval exercise with Russia, China raises Western alarm”
Funny, I thought the Neocon Cheerleaders were telling us that “Russia is Isolated”. Seems to me like their Rolodex is growing, while the West’s is shrinking.
“Is South Africa western?”
They once were Western...but then the West told them how to run things and they’re now through with us.
China is well on its way to successfully colonizing Africa even today.
And for that matter central Johannesburg is totally Third World right now. Buildings that 30 years ago were sturdy,modern and attractive are all being occupied by Third World people and they all look like something you'd see in a war zone.
Looks like they threw out the baby with the bath water.
