Economist: South Africa is drifting towards Russia and China and is causing disappointment in the West

South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor, according to unnamed sources, during a meeting with the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell, said that the West cannot teach South Africa because it did not help her during the "freedom struggle", the newspaper writes.

“In addition, ties with Russia and China are now important for Cape Town for pragmatic reasons,” writes InoTV, citing a British publication.

Earlier, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya, in an interview with RT correspondent Caleb Maupin, spoke of "jealousy" in the West because of Russia's relations with African countries.
