Dear subscribers, we have received a great number of letters of solidarity from South Africans, both individuals and organizations. We appreciate your support and glad you decided to stand with us today, when Russia, like 80 years ago, is fighting Nazism in Ukraine!

Sorry, but we can't stay silent on this one, it's just far too cynical. What

is doing in

is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain. It's definitely not "fighting Nazism". Shame on anyone who's falling for this. (Sadly, we're kinda experts on Nazism.)

Oh Wow! The comments here

Makes me embarrassed to be South African. Please let it be true that this is a tiny minority, our equivalent of America's KKK and Proud Boys, or the 2% of Ukrainians who actually voted hard right in their last elections.

I don't think a single response actually addresses the German embassy's claim that the Ukraine war is not about Nazism. Instead eveyone just hurls abuse for Germany's actions decades earlier. Embassy: good on you for trying to bring some sense. A shame the audience is so rabid.

NATO and its allies are the main cause of the fight now they are cheering Ukraine to sacrifice its citizens, Ukraine on its own could have easily talked with Moscow. NATO are no innocent we know what they did to Libya.

Totally agree. Can we get the same reaction on Israel? Can they be sanctioned too, or the outrage is only reserved for white ppl, brown ppl only deserve a 1-2 page press release? I'm honestly sick of the double standards. Lets reflect on our actions first.

A Forgotten Genocide: What Germany Did in Namibia, and What It’s Saying Now

The German government agreed to recognize the killings of two ethnic groups in Namibia as genocide. What happened more than 100 years ago, why was it forgotten, and what is Germany doing to atone?

Propaganda is always targeted at the most feeble-minded and it looks like Russia landed a plum with this one if the supportive comments are anything to go by.
