The DA has accused the ANC Youth League of legitimising Russian referendums which are aimed validating the annexation of Ukrainian territory.
The DA has accused the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) of legitimising Russian referendums which are aimed validating the annexation of Ukrainian territory by the Russian military.
ANCYL officials are acting as international observers of such referendums.
According to the DA's Darren Bergman, the ANCYL has committed a serious breach of international law.
"In doing so, the ANCYL is not only lending official credibility to these sham polls, but seemingly carrying the full weight and backing of South Africa's governing party, giving a blank cheque to other pariah nations and governments to annex whatever territory they please, knowing they will have the support of the ANC-led South African government," Bergman said.
He described the ANCYL's actions as a flagrant disregard of international law as well as a violation of South Africa's Constitution.
