Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is paying a historic visit to South Africa since taking office as president in 2019. It is Zelensky's first visit to the African continent, and his visit comes at a time of growing competition among global powers for influence in Africa. The visit, which was abruptly cut short following a Russian airstrike on Kyiv, marks a significant move in Ukraine’s broader strategy to counter Moscow’s deepening influence in Africa. Thabiso Kotane speaks to POWERNews Repoter, Nkosinathi Shazi.
