On Brics, A Open Letter To Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa the President Of The Republic Of South Africa Poem by Gert Strydom

"In Thy power, Almighty, trusting, did our fathers build of old:
strengthen then O Lord, their children to defend, to love, to hold-
that the heritage that they gave us for our nation yet may be:
bondsmen only to the Highest and before the whole world free.
As our fathers trusted humbly, teach us, Lord, to trust Thee still:
guard our land and guide our people, in Thy way to do Thy will."
C. J. Langenhoven, translated collectively.
From: "The call of South Africa."

"Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica" by Enoch Sontonga

"God bless Africa,
raise high her glory,
hear our prayers,
God bless us, we her children,
God protect our nation,
end all wars and tribulations,
protect us, protect our nation
South Africa
our nation South Africa."


We are in an unholy alliance
as a member of BRICS
which are Brazil, Russia, India, China,
and South Africa

where South Africa and the other countries
in this alliance do tacitly
support Russia in its war
against the Ukraine.

It has come to my attention
that this meeting is going to discuss
how to help Russia sneak around
the sanctions that most of the world
is enacting against it.

That it is about exporting and importing
from and to the totalitarian regime
of Mr. Putin.

India is providing certification
in its Indian Register of Shipping,
IR Class, that is one of the top
certification companies in the world,

for the Russian ships owned by
Sovcomflot, a Russian
state owned subsidiary,
managed from Dubai to export
crude-oil and other things from Russia.

This has a high probability
of resulting in sanctions against India.
If India wants to bring this down
upon themselves then let it be so.

You as the president of South Africa,
Mr. Ramaphosa, has recently
spoken to Mr. Putin to get grain
and other food and fertilizers,

this conversation took place
in the context of the BRICKS discussion
that is taking place.

This is a stern warning
to the South African government:
if you do get South African insurers
to insure the ships of Sovcomflot,

or do against sanctions import
anything from Russia
and it brings down sanctions
of the Western and European world
upon South Africa,

or are involved in any kind of way
to help Russia to get pass the sanctions
that has been set against it,

if in any way you violate
these sanctions the South Africans
will to the extreme pay for it.

The damage to this country
and the economy will be devastating.
No Brasilia, Russia, China and India
will be able to rescue us from this.

The ANC have run my country down
through the last thirty years,
from a first world nation
through being State Captured by

Gupta-business-men from India
who after robbing South Africa
found sanctuary in Dubai
against any prosecution,
to South Africa being less
than third world country,

where the electricity is off
at many times by ESCOM
and the municipality doing
the so called power-shedding.

Any action that has negative effects
by your unholy alliance with
totalitarian states in this BRICS
alliance,

you and the ANC will be held
personally and together responsible.

Do not let communist China
from where COVID- 19 came
and totalitarian Russia
drag South Africa down with them.

This war in Ukraine where thousands
of innocent people are dying,
is Putin's and Russia's war
and South Africa has no responsibility for it,
or for helping Russia
out of the great mess
that it has brought down on itself.

Remain loyal to the people
that did vote you in,
remain loyal to each and every
citizen of South Africa
that you do represent.

This goes far beyond politics,
this may at a time be
for the very survival
of out country.

Act above board,
true to conviction,
and true to the very best interests
of the Republic of South Africa
and of every person living in it.
