Durban – Social media users think South Africa should not get involved in the Russia, Ukraine crisis. Many have commented on how SA failed to protect its own during last year’s riots.<\/p>\n

And now that Russian forces have invaded Ukraine, locals think we are better off minding our own business. <\/p>\n

Early on Thursday morning, the world woke up to news that Russian armed forces had invaded Ukraine. <\/p>\n

So far, hundreds have left their homes out of fear. Others have resorted to lining up outside shops to buy essentials and withdraw cash. <\/p>\n

The South African government is calling for Russia to withdraw its troops. <\/p>\n

Social media commentator and funny woman, Tums – The Narrator “humbly” called on Minister of International Relations and Co-operation, Naledi Pandor to go it alone and leave SA out of it.<\/p>\n

“Granny Pandor, I come to you humble and contrite. Stay out of this one and keep us out of it too. Did you listen to boetie?” she asks and goes on to play a video clip of Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

“We don’t have the manpower for this. We are not prepared for such. Gogo Naledi please, and I speak for most South Africans, please go by yourself as an individual and leave us out of it,” she said. <\/p>\n
