Expelled African National Congress (ANC) member Carl Niehaus has pledged his support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Niehaus made the announcement in a Twitter post on Wednesday after his meeting with Russia’s Ambassador to South Africa Ilya Igorevich Rogachev.
His post comes ahead of the first anniversary of the Russia’s intervention in Ukraine (24 February 2022). The ongoing war is considered to be among the top 10% of deadliest wars since 1812.
Niehaus supports Russia
While South Africa’s government has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and resisted taking sides, Niehaus claims he supports the war.
