South Africa: Outrage as Russia's Naval Ship Docks at Cape Town | Firstpost Africa

The Ukrainian Association of South Africa has expressed anger saying the incident calls into question South Africa's purported neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Democratic Alliance, President Cyril Ramaphosa's coalition partner, has also condemned the incident as "cosying up to Russia". Amid the outrage, the South African National Defense Force said the Russian vessel docked for re-supply purposes. South Africa and Russia share decades-long ties.
