Vladimir Putin and South Africa’s ANC: Friends Forever?
World Affairs ^ | Fall 2016 | H. Matthee

Posted on 08/25/2018 1:59:41 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

During the years of the ANC’s guerilla struggle against white rule in South Africa, Zuma was its head of military intelligence. He and other political associates received training in the Soviet Bloc, then one of the ANC’s allies. Putin and some of his close associates today were officers of the Soviet intelligence and security services during this period.

An important ANC policy document in 2015, A Better Africa in a Better and Just World, reflected a pro-Russian worldview. It extolled the value of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and quoted Lenin approvingly on the tranformation of society. The document also claimed a concerted US-led Western effort to destabilize Russia. The ANC government does not recognize EU sanctions imposed against Russia.

In July 2016, South Africa joined China and Russia in voting against a United Nations resolution on the “promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the internet”...In November 2015, South Africa voted with Russia and China against a UN resolution that would recognise threats against defenders of human rights.

In 2014, reports emerged that the ANC had funding problems. During the same period, news emerged of a nuclear energy program concluded in Russia between presidents Putin and Zuma.

Security and intelligence cooperation between SA and Russia is strengthening. Many intelligence officials of SA have received training in Russia in recent years. In September 2016, the deputy director of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS), Anatoly Punchuk, confirmed that the FSVTS had for the first time proposed to South Africa to engage in joint industrial research in the defense sphere.

Putin is seen as a hero by conservatives in the West for redistributing Crimean land to thousands of Boer farmers. Crimea itself being stolen land.

Zuma is no longer president. Now it's Ramophosa. (Below)

Keep your pants on Spartacus, the Boer farmers being saved from the unfolding ANC genocide are going to move to Stavropol, not Crimea.

And Crimea is not stolen. It was Russian before Ohio was American. There was a coup in Kiev, that’s it. When you throw a coup you only get to control what you can physically gain at gunpoint. You don’t automatically inherit everything owned by the government you deposed. The basic concept of a coup is that you have stepped outside legitimacy and gone to force. At that point everybody else possesses the same right to use force to grab what they want, or protect theirself, in the same way.

It was always a looney neocon fantasy that Sevastopol would become a NATO navy base. We would just as soon give away San Diego or Norfolk.

Wow your arguments sound IDENTICAL to the ones the black advocates give for justifying the seizing of white-owned farms.

It’s no wonder: the heads of the South African ANC were trained by the current occupiers of the Kremlin.

Pathetic.

So sad. Not so long ago South Africa was a civilized, rather advanced country and very westernized. Now, thanks to the democrats of the world it has become a white farmer murdering shithole.

Trouble on the horizon. It looks like another staged chemical attack is planned in northern Syria to trigger a US-UK-French attack on the country.

Russia’s defense ministry claims that saying British intelligence is working with the jihadists to stage the fake attack.

Russia is taking in white farmers from South Africa. The US is not.
