What ruZZia accuses others of is always what they are doing themselves. It’s their way.
Ah ok, so now we surely know russians did that
Disinformation and propaganda.
Nano-influencer network: According to a February 2025 report from DW, Russia is increasingly relying on a network of local “nano-influencers” in South Africa and other African countries to spread propaganda and amplify narratives.
Capitalizing on existing sentiment: These campaigns succeed by leveraging local grievances and historical anti-colonial, anti-imperialist views that are already prevalent. South African experts noted in early 2025 that Russia uses disinformation to remind people that “the West is historically the villain”.
Disrupting elections: A US military think tank warned in early 2025 that Russia would likely focus on disinformation campaigns during upcoming African elections, including South Africa’s, to undermine Western-aligned candidates.
African Initiative: A US State Department report from February 2024 detailed how the Kremlin-funded “African Initiative” news agency uses local journalists to spread pro-Moscow content and damage the West’s reputation.
