Lindiwe Sisulu, anti-apartheid leader and founding member of the Sisulu Foundation for Social Justice, condemned the display of a Ukrainian flag in Cape Town as a “desperate, reprehensible” act that dishonors Nelson Mandela's legacy and African sovereignty.

Sisulu criticized the act as a deliberate affront by Ukrainian nationalists during the announcement of the inaugural Leo Tolstoy International Peace Prize, where she is the sole African jury member.
