ANC Youth League members – who travelled to Ukraine at the invitation of Russia to oversee so-called referendums – deny they're Russian puppets. On 12 October, 143 nations of the world voted in favour of condemning the referendums that took place in Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. They concluded it was a sham and an illegal land grab by the Russian Federation. South Africa chose to abstain from voting on that particular resolution and has consistently refused to condemn Russia's invasion; instead, positioning itself as a non-aligned country interested only in peace. Subsequent to the outcome of those referendums, Russia has officially annexed the four areas that make up 15% of Ukraine. North Korea is the only UN member state that recognises Russia's annexation of the partially occupied regions. BizNews correspondent Michael Appel spoke to ANCYL chairperson of the International Relations Committee, Khulekani Skosana, about its mission as election observers. He refuses to divulge who exactly invited them and paid for the trip. Skosana is adamant what Russia did on 24 February “is in response to the permeation of Nazi extremism that targets a particular ethnic group. Ukraine has also been responsible for killing Ukrainian citizens of Russian descent”. This is a wide-ranging interview with Skosana expressing his views on everything from the war in Ukraine to political issues in South Africa, including the idea of Cape independence. He says, “Settlers cannot come and tell us they want [Cape] independence in our country.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Ukraine's Ambassador to South Africa, Luibov Abravitova, is seeking clarity from DIRCO about whether or not ANC Youth League members travelled to occupied territories in east and southern Ukraine to act as election observers in recent referendums. Four occupied regions of Ukraine - Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk - which make up about 15% of that country, recently held referendums on whether or not to join Russia. The UN, EU, US and Nato-aligned countries regard the referendums as illegitimate, illegal and a sham. Abravitova told BizNews that if ANCYL members are there, "they violated Ukraine's immigration laws by entering into Ukraine". The ambassador refused to be drawn on internal political matters after the DA sought clarity on who funded the trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Members of the ANC Youth League are currently acting as "election observers" in occupied territories in Ukraine where referendums were held over five days. Voting took place to decide whether residents of the four regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia wanted to be incorporated into Russia. It's a move widely viewed as a pretext to the full annexation of that area by Russia. BizNews spoke to Steven Gruzd, head of the Russia/Africa programme at the South African Institute of International Affairs for his take on the truly bizarre involvement of ANCYL members in what many around the world consider a "sham".
