On 7 October this year, the new Ukrainian Foreign Minister , Andrey Sibiga visited SA. I was happy to see that, this time, the DA didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet (and roll up their sycophantic skirts) to welcome them – the way they cosied up to the Ukrainian ambassador back in March 2022. ( Damn that was hard to watch.
) While they were here, the Ukrainian ministry aides screwed up at a press conference. They inadvertently let that authoritarian, Nazi mask slip..
.when they demanded that their counterpart hosts, the SA foreign ministry, remove the RT (Russia Today news) microphone from the table. (REAL darn democrats, huh? All for freedom of speech and information, right? If that doesn’t clue you in as to who these fascists are, you’re not paying close enough attention.
) TISA, COMRADE. WE DON’T DO CENSORSHIP Fortunately, our ministers didn’t buckle to the command and refused to remove the mic. They basically told those Banderite neo-Nazis.
.. TiSA : “This is South Africa.
That’s not how we do things in our fancy-schmancy, “sophisticated” constitutional democracy, boet. So go f*ck yourself, comrade!” Ok, so they didn’t actually say that in so many words, but their actions did. They told the Ukrainians, “You’re not at home now”, and “We can’t chase them away.
” They also reminded the Ukrainian ministry that SA has laws guaranteeing freedom of the press. ( Ura, S’Africa! ) Too bad the rest of (white) SA doesn’t have the guts, integrity .
