South Africa’s Response to Russia/Ukraine War w/ Dr Bhaso Ndzendze

  • Summary

  • On the 24th of February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine, the largest military assault on a European state since World War 2. The Global West took a firm stance against Russia, imposing sanctions and voting to condemn the war. However, South Africa did not join the chorus of condemnation against Russia, instead abstaining from the United Nations emergency resolution to condemn the war. This triggered an intense debate about the consistency and ambiguity of our foreign policy, especially with regards to peace and security. 

    In this talk, Dr Bhaso Ndzendze will help us understand the government’s response to the Russia/Ukraine war. In a world where South Africa’s influence on other African countries is undeniable, this conversation will give youth an opportunity to reflect, vision, and redress the need for transformation of our foreign policy on peace and security, both on the continent and abroad.
