here is the views of king and president, mr. william, brutal people like mackenzie and all other territories, and criminals do not belong to any religion. they belong to james. and that is where they should be. the red cross estimates that over 300 people were reported missing in that chic a hola area in can leafy county and we expect that the death toll will arise even more. 2 cases of those young kids who are under the age of 10 were found to have been ex fixated and then really goes towards deliberate murder and taking of life. then unless he ation or starvation might lead us. but indeed, most of these cops were starved and they were found to have nothing in their stomach, according to kenya's chief pathologist. no, art is cannibal

a tattler reporting right there. that story does continue online at r t dot com for the meantime from all of us here. thanks for joining us. we are back at the top. ah, the crown jewels housed in westminster abbey radiate the glory of the put his tone . that is one generation hands over to another. so to do the memories and crimes of the history, ah, what coronation at the taking up, what in between to fists into it, you know,

the very same people, dis, my keep the same system which we hate in africa. we, a del i king's, we had our queens, we adela war system going on properly. some old boys to the continuity of the more nike. because one, they believe that most of their fans and their resources are going into some of these activities or funding the lifestyles or the existence of this morning can some that those that strongly believe that the monarchy should be abolished. no is above. one should not celebrate the monarchy because the monarchy has not been good to zimbabwe. the monarchy is the reason why. um, we lost our independence and we were colonized. so for the countries that feel that spending money to attend the a coordination of the king is a waste of taxpayers money. you don't go, you send a nice card. hello and welcome to this week's african now. so coming to you ahead of the coordination

of king charles the 3rd as hundreds of millions of people around the globe watch the pageantry and celebrations here in africa. charles is the sanction to the throne. provides a moment of pause and reflection. we on south africa just outside a small town called the 2 lea, which is just one of $100.00 sites of british concentration camps that way. stablished at the beginning of the 1900s. many people don't know that it wasn't fact the british who introduced the idea of concentration camps and who killed a quarter of this country's population in just 3 years. so please tell me a little bit about this camp. this camp was that they lost camp to being established of all concentration camps will watch the width 26 gap school whites in south africa and 60 poor for blacks. the camps would establish because the women and children supply the bless with food and that i shifts and i want to keep them

from doing that. so as i brings him to gaps, i grew up with my grandmother who was one of the king night. she had as a doctor of 60, but she had a sister who died and the name of yes, yes, it nag was some good. it is some kind on this and she was can be bleak, and they were fought on the farm pruitt book in smithfield. the street, the sister was younger than she, and she stopped. and she wrote in the, the twin father which was in prison in room for that and said, bobby, he's come to the till he can and bring me something to eat. the day before he came to the cat. as a teacher, she died to the think o fire one night anthony was nobody tale. and my great friend, mazda 53, is extinguished of flames with her hands and her hand to

a bird. then she dived with this, i bowled tads and it was also told that people in the may much roved about that incident to see that english speaking bro. wilmont the poor saved language home that which was english because by grade current, father was english that english speaking blue woman ain't been moved out trudy for, for you. it's difficult because it's your personal history. it's not just a chapter in in history. how do you feel about the british to day? i have no bad feelings about him. i never realised see that she was bitter. only thing that she said that we never must speak english. and i think she forget and forgive. so treaty, what can expense we really ought? this was the original or the 2nd campsite after i move from there. in this hollow

place, where i lived here for 8 months, all the people, all 4880 of the live intensive in that tara price. the was no trees like now it was only the hollis and we need snow. and we did. they it was right. all the things were flooded and everything in the things were the weight. the english give them russians twice a week, 220. i tickled to under the city grams of meat, meat of cattle and sheep preached already died because he was now grazing and a cup full of mace or sand and little bit coffee and soft. this place in the hollow. it was not supposed to be yet, he was supposed to be there in the open next to the route. but the superintendent said he was afraid that the bush will find out ways to camp but come and visit. so

you put him in this hollow place. so that the bruce can see them. can you believe fight? do you think that the concentration camp system helped the british when the war? yes, definitely. because that was the one factor which killed the fall mess the fight us to see the suffering of the women and children. and i decided that instead dumped, the more of them died if father and she will speak a lot of what you say sounds similar to the concentration camps at the nazis did in mobile tooth. do you think there's a connection? i have no scientific evidence for that. but i definitely think that men crumbs, the british, what did they did after q people think the concentration camps, or how to make them suspect? among the ranks of the boys as well. hundreds of russian fighters who volunteered to travel thousands of kilometers to an inhospitable region to defend the white for

freedom. like the book they hated the british imperialist policies and many died for the cause. i've been given. i was pretty, peter is the grandson of one of the with in turned in the can. and why did russia in your opinion of the economy and the anger i think that stems from the caribbean war and in 1850 the in the early 18 fifty's of

where, where did they at to fight against the british and the british also at allies supporting them and the russians last at least $500000.00. i think men during that, the crimean war and generally in europe because of the expansion of the british empire. there was the feeling that this ex thing is going too far. so how did, how did people in russian know about the 2nd and global war? how did they even have the idea to come to not most, mostly through through the newspapers. no, boy, yeah. yeah. i think so one of the news, russia newspapers and where they volunteered so what they were request from the west side for them to come, that they were volunteers and no military personnel in the hallway public were late. i soldiers like the british soldiers that literally joe were paid by a,

by the british government altogether. they would about 450000, but use troops up against about 60000 burse in the towns wall and buildings for the state, and doing figures for met 60000. how many would have been russian from the 60000? and it's, it's not possible for me to give exact figures, but a couple of 100, say 4500 russian volunteers actually came to south africa. but that were mostly people that had the means of traveling because they had to come on their own cost. they come in, came year, paying for their fears themselves. then they go to commando supporting themselves. you know, the government wasn't contributing it was, it was violent volunteers, just fighting on the side of the trans all republic. but what they did is they send

their good wishes. they send to the famous gift that they sent to the general cron year. he's known as the brought enough. it is still in the museum, could do that house museum in pretoria, and it contained the signature of 70000 russian people who supported the books and do send them well. good wishes. 70000 signatures. it was put into this, brought enough and sent to the throne, swallow republic. pretty high. important was the assistance that the, the russian fighters gave bought from being fight. this took part in the anglo brewer war. they were also supporting the governments of the 3 state drones holiday publics was with hospital with hospital services were red cross

services. they were actually a joint unit between the russians and the netherlands joint hospital unit that they seen due south africa. and of those men who came from russia, do we have any sense of how many died? how many went back to a number of, of them died? i know about the officers officers that died during this anglo world war. one of the very famous russian officers, he skipped the new book of macowski who died was 2 other officers near interest in person who natal on the 21st of december on christmas day 1900 and they were actually buried day and there is a monument in it draft and the memory of the russian to volunteered and fought in

the 2nd angle wall is that still remembered and significant in south africa today. it is really significant and it's, it's interesting for me to note that the latest wonderment about the anglo border war he's at the russian orthodox church in mid rent. and it was opened on the 6 of october 2013, that very recently. and the russian embassy made a contribution. and every year on the 31st of may, we go there we, we do the research laying. it's also important for the congregation of the russian orthodox church, because let congregation was established on the 31st of may. 1968 jernace book. so it's also a date that's important to the join me. last decades, the soviet union was much closer to the liberation movement. so the soviet union

form the relationship, for example, with the african national congress in south africa. that the off economy community, the blue community see that as the trail or how is the feeling in the community? i think, you know, we were also brought up to say detroit for the red danger. and we fought in the angler and goal of war, and of he calling us at a specific feelings against the russians and of gone is that did go to russia, realized that these actually a lot of goodwill among those people and we should have close the dice we, we, we don't know each other well enough. we, we, we drifted apart and i think that is something that we have to good going forward. it's over a 100 years and still the russian contribution is on it. and remember today,

a far cry from the semester headstones of some of the bush soldiers who took part in the anglo boy wall as north of william coon gay report from johanna. when i'm coming to straight from, from frontier symmetry park in johanna sticks of africa. this is a place many funding figures of sub africa later wrist, including british canadian and chinese war fighters. a lot of the consequences of the anglo war lead to this kind of situation. it does come across as a peaceful and while respected, but when you look around, it does not give in your fat. it is vandalized, it is not respected. and there is absolutely no way to call this a commonwealth of war greats. 77 world war 2 veterans are commemorated in addition to the war graves, more than 500 british casualties from the anglo for a walk. commemorated chat might seem like a peaceful and respected place from where i'm standing, but the space is abandoned not sought after,

and very much neglected. it's also one of those zemett fees that citizens feel should not exist. i'll make story features the great grandson of a boy who was one of 5 to escape british captivity, and some to freedom courtesy of russia. miss taylor, thank you so much for your time. we understand many times that the anglo blood work seems to be a very insatiable topic. wisest on is the case. the anglo boy war is, has become an insatiable topic and are very much above the noise currently because there are many people in south africa that were affected by the anglo boardwalk. when the british came to south africa, the whole mission was to annex the land of the boors. and so this topic as re emerged because it's us, it's a sensitive topic to our south africans, to your great grandfather. and you are a descendant of know,

and george state law. if you can just tell us the story. there is the remarkable story behind those 2 names. just tell us what it is. a remarkable story and very shortly. my great grandfather, lo state, lois, his christian names are lawrence jacobo state. and i carry his name loudon, slightly a proudly. we're at gray college in blue valentine at school there. when they final years. and the anglo boy war, i was official, soon after they left school, my great grandfather and his brother george decided to join the bull commandos against the british tyranny. and they joined the commandos in bloemfontein, but unfortunately being inexperienced the soldiers. because remember, south africa had no army, we were just farmers tending the land,

looking off to each other, looking off to ourselves. and these 2 brothers with many other youngsters, joined the commanders to fight inexperienced. and they were captured at to bon chu, just outside of devonshire, in the free state. and they were sent down to the concentration camp at green point, which is currently green point in cape down. the concentration camp was known as sky view. they even named the concentration camps at the concentration camp, the masters of the concentration camp and the british empire decided there were too many people in that concentration camp. and they took $600.00 of these people and put them on a ship, the ss, catalonia, and sent them abroad to be incarcerated in another concentration camp in ceylon, which is today sri lanka. now, as they were sailing and my grandfather,

my great grandfather's name was tell about the horrid conditions on the ship. they started to make plans to escape. when they arrived at colombo hava harbor, he noticed a steam ship on the outskirts and it was flying a russian flag. him and his brother george and 3 other guys earnest. how's no pit bull turned the stain? made plans to escape that night. and this was about the 3rd night that the wind colombo harbor that he jumped overboard and swam in the sea 3 miles morales and the russian ship at which was anchored. they picked them up, the captain, or the 1st officer was a captain vladimir kissimay. and he immediately took them aboard and he gave them a hot bath. he gave them hot tea and he gave them new clothes and each one got

a cabin to sleep in. and he then sent a message to russia saint petersburg. at that point was there capital? and he said, we've got these 5 bull people and we have hidden them on the ship. the british ditch searched the ship, but the captain had hidden them away. and his whole story beyond that, they then sailed with the ship through the black sea, all the way to odessa, where, after they stayed in the barracks at odessa, then they travelled with a train through to saint petersburg. and that took about 7 days when they got to st . petersburg, the russian people were waiting for them and they, they welcomed them as heroes and czar nicholas the 2nd declared them the royal guests of the czar house of russia. and honestly, hearing you say a lot of nice things and kind and things about russia makes me wonder what you

think a fresh and syllabic as current researching relation is. i'd like to inform you that i am a signatory to the russ file movement. i am the 42nd signatory to the foundation of the russell file movement, which is contrary to the raso phobia which is happening worldwide. there is a narrative that russian people and russia are bad. why? well, i can only think it's to serve someone else's purpose. i and my family have known the hearts of the russian people since the anglo bull war, because we have seen nothing other than the good hearted human nature come to the fore and i've been to russia, and that's all i see there. now, a lot of people tend to speak a lot of things and voice, the opinions regarding the relationship between versions of africa. but maybe you

can tell us what you think a russia can are fast south africa, besides the great and deep historical relations that have had. well, you've asked the question, i'm going to answer it. honestly, russia, in my opinion, is the last great great bastion against this woke a gender of negatively influencing natural and normal human existence. i hope russia plays that part. and i told them that and at the highest level in government, in my meetings in russia, i said the one thing that you need to do is stand firm against this ridiculous and natural wave of woke. and now many other words we could use the which do not make sense. we now travel to

some bob way, way, but in a 40 year effort to either influence or asked for miss and bobby and president robert mcgarvey, proved to be a monumental failure. it is a story that spanned 6 british prime ministers, nearly 1000000000 british pounds and every conceivable strategy. there are several mixed feelings about the coronation of king charles, given the history of britons influence over zimbabwe and its past colonial history . zimbabwe is the country that has felt the effects and the burdens of sanctions imposed on it by britain. but with the president of zimbabwe attending the coronation. some people think that it's a great opportunity for zimbabwe to strengthen its ties with britain, whilst others believed that it's inappropriate for the u. k. to invite the president of zimbabwe to celebrate its monarchy, while zimbabwe is still under sanctions. what coronation had they to

a king of what in the 25th century, you know they have the very same people, dis, my keep the same system which we hate in africa. we adela kings with our queens, we had our or system going on properly. in the to city of the billing conference. they decided to petition africa. they decided to bring democracy, which the use you as is there is in to impose sanctions to t. they claim that the 8th is not democracy in zimbabwe, yet the al plenty of the coronation, not coronation at the talking of what we're expecting them as the masters of democracy to be here when elections to choose law be the king game glinetta, king to no zebra. when should not celebrate the monarchy because the monarchy has not been good to zimbabwe, the monarchies, the reason why i am, we lost our independence and we were colonized the mountain monarchies. why we still have the body parts of our chiefs and kings. still sitting in britain and they haven't repatriated them to heaven made an effort to repatriate. and the

monarchy has never it reparations to this. and by when people for the oppression and destruction of our country that they undertook. and i believe that they should pay reparations for colonialism and they should pay reparations for the illegitimate and illegal sanctions that be imposed on some property for us. taking back our left, given the current state of relations between zimbabwe and the united kingdom, some people feel that it is a sign that relations were improving. however, others were more cynical filling that the invitation was more about politics than anything else keep ruptures for our to use in our audi zimbabwe. we problem now for the north to zambia, which was one of the 1st countries to break free from the yoke of british imperialism. like elsewhere in africa, the reaction of the population to the combination is negative. the theme was of the british a quarter on your ear as steel, stanza, zambia today like the high court you are seeing behind me,

which was bought mission in 1957 by queen elizabeth. less than the and judicial assist him follows the british judicial system and even the anti r one by exam done that judges is the same as the crown court system. and now the zambian are going to celebrate the coronation of prince charles the 3rd with a mixed emotions. in my view, i think if any african countries looking to benefit out of the money which is going to be spent on the correlational, king charles, this country ought to go back and think again. there are no free lunches on this planet. the british government is spending money to honor the inauguration of the british king, and it ends there as a and african country or commonwealth member state. you have to ask yourself, is this coronation something that i want to participate in? if you can't afford it, don't go there. but don't expect the british government to give you money,

which their taxpayers are putting into the coordination of their king. and i think this is the disease that africa must move away from the holding the begging bowl. and expecting somebody out there to fill that ball for you, we have to take care of ourselves. so for the countries that feel that spending money to attend, the coordination of the king is a waste of taxpayers, money. you don't go, you send a nice card in. but in to the home of the crown, there is a sizable part of the population who are against the monarchy analyst cross, bishop tells us more from what you're hearing and seeing. is there an anti coordination movement in england? well, i mean, the royce has been somewhere, i don't know whether it's any more. i think it's morgan was just a different way to be quite frank with here area. so normally days to go naturally

carnation of angels, the 3rd. and you really wouldn't know that it was out like, you know, the signs are very, very discount, but there is a big rural occasion coming out. well, one of the biggest ones you could argue for nearly 70 years, plus, speaking about the coronation, we understand that this coming along well now, i mean, i think that they will be, i always, especially these days, i mean, in this country, those protesters against oil as protesters for the environment, protesters for for the cost of living, there's a lot of projects, i'm sure that people there and we have world wide event drama points in front of millions around the world. i'm sure. i just think that's that's assigned to the time of reverence for

a family that has been prevalent since today's agree victoria feel like it is slowly, slowly becoming a thing of the past. i don't think it's just in england. i think it's a world wide thing. the support to the monarchy is slipping away. is that according to your opinion? really the case? just give you an idea. i mean, when princess diana and the current king charles the 3rd when they married in 1981. and i remember vividly, i mean there was lags everywhere, there was bunting on the street. that street part is the whole place shut down for the day. they were cricket matches that were celebrations and everywhere. and every much on television that was huge. you know, but this time as i say, you wouldn't really know that. so the things are what that brings us to the end of this week show. and a satin african history hearing from african memorials like this one dr.

countryside, as a reminder of the dangers of colonialism, he and global war is sometimes referred to as well with us. next week, we look at another will. this time, the 2nd world war and the african contribution to the defeat of nazi germany alongside the soviet army. join us then as we celebrate victory day from now those from the in the team. good bye. ah, the blue .
