[000:00:00;00] ah mm mm hm. the quality tools housed in westminster abbey radiate the glory of the put his tone . that is one generation hands over to another. so to, to the memories and crimes of the history, ah, what coronation at the taking up, what in between to fists into it, who know the very same people, dis, my keep the same system which we hate in africa. we, a del i king's, we tell our queens,

we adela or system going on properly. some old boys to the continuity of the more nike. because one day 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, zimbabwe should not celebrate the monarchy because the monarchy has not been good to zimbabwe. the monarchy is the reason why i am, we lost our independence and we were colonized. so for the countries that feel that spending money to attend the a, the 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 show coming to you ahead of the coordination of king charles that 3rd as hundreds of millions of people around the globe watch. the pageantry and

celebrations here in africa tells us the same scene to the throne provides a moment of pause and reflection. we on south africa just outside a small town called the truly, which is just one of $100.00 sites of british concentration camps that were stablished at the beginning of the 1900s. many people don't know that it was, in fact, the british who introduced the idea of concentration camps and 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 last camp to being established of all concentration camps will watch the 46 gap school whites in south africa and 60 poor for blacks. the camps would establish because the women and children supply their birth 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 nights he had as a doctor of 60, but she had a sister who died and the name of yes, yes, it node was some good. it is some kind on this and she was be bleak and they were fought on the farm, pruitt book, and smithfield. the st. the sister was young, has an sheet and she stopped. and she wrote indeed that to her father, which was in prison in room for that and said, bobby, these come to the delicate and bring me something to eat. the day before he came to the cat. as a teacher, she died to the think old fire one night. anthony was nobody tale, and my great grandmother therapy is extinguished, the flames with her hands until the hands were that she dived with this. i build tad's,

and it was also told that people in the may must wrote about that incident to see that english speaking blue woman for saved language. i'm net which was english because by grade current, father was english. that english speaking blue woman ain't burned down truly for, for you. it's difficult because it's your personal history. it's not just a chapter in in his street. how do you feel about the british to day? i have no bad feelings about him. i never realised, see that i speak english at em. i've seen she forget and forgive. so treaty, what can expense relief? this was c, regina or the 2nd campsite after i moved from there. in this hollow place, they lived here for 8 months. all the people,

all 4880 of the live intensive in that tara price. there was no trees like now it was only the hollowness, 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 gave them russians twice. a week, 220. i tickled to under the city grams of meat, meat off, cattle and sheep reached already died because there was no grazing and a cup full of mace or sam 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 road. but the superintendent said he was afraid that the bush will find out ways to campus come and visit. so you put him in this hollow place. so it's up to brisco. 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. so fight us to see the suffering of the women and children. and i decided that in state up, the more of them died if over and she witnessed 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've no scientific evidence for that. but a day from dissing side 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 policy and many died for the cause. i've given i pretty peter is the grandson of one of the with in turned in the camp. 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. after where, where did they at to fight against the british and the british also at allies supporting

them and the russians lost 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. frame yeah. i think so one of the news russian 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, the little jo, a we're paid by a, by the british government altogether. they would about 450000, but use troops up against about 60000 burse in the wall and the audience for the

state. and doing the figures from next 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 saved for 500 ice crush. and volunteers actually came to south africa. but that were mostly people that had the means of traveling because they, 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 fighting on the side of the trans all republic. but what they did is they seen the good wishes they sent to the famous gift that they sent

to the general con year he's known as the property. now it is still in the museum. could you 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 was put into this, brought enough and sent to the towns followed republican. pretty high important was the assistance that the russian fighters gave bought from being fight. this took part in the anglo blood war. they were also supporting the governments of the 3 state drugs. all of the public's with with hospital with hospital services were red cross services. and they were actually a joint unit between the russians and the netherlands joint hospital unit that

they seen to south africa. and up 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 angler border war. one of the very famous russian officers, he skipped and new book of macowski who died was 2 other offices near interest in person and natal. on the 21st of december on christmas day 1900, and they were actually bet bitty day, and they some monument in it draft and the memory of the russians who volunteered and fought in the 2nd anger 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 is at the russian orthodox church in mid rent. and it was opened on the 6th of october 2013. that's very recently. and the, the russian embassy made the 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 jets, because that congregation was established on the 31st of may. 1968 jernace broke. so it's also a date that's important to them. 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 book 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 the detroit for the red danger. and we fought in the angler and goal of war, and of he calling us at 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 smashed headstones of some of the bushes, soldiers who took part in the anglo bull wall,

as north of william coon gay report from johanna. when i'm coming to you straight from, from frontier symmetry talking to hannah 6 of africa. this is a place where many funding figures of sub africa laid to rest, 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 restricted, and there is absolutely no way to call this a commonwealth of war. great. 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 shack might seem like a peaceful and respected place from where i'm standing, but this place 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. mister saddler, thank you so much for your time. we understand many times that the anglo buddha was seems to be a very insatiable topic, wisest on is the case. the anglo bull war is, has become an insatiable topic and 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 the descendant of law and george state law. if you can just tell us the

story. there is the remarkable story behind those 2 names. just tell us more. it is a remarkable story, and very shortly. my great grandfather, lo state, lo, his, his christian names are lawrence jacobus state, and i carry his name logan stapler, very proudly. we're at gray college in bloemfontein at school the, when they final years and the anglo bull war. i was official. soon off to my 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 bloom fronting 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 in 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 to day 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 turn that he 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, while the 1st officer was a captain. vladimir kiss him off 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 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 relations. 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, their opinions regarding the relationship between vash and sal 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 buttons, 40 year effort to either influence or asked for ms and bobby and president robert

mcgarvey, proved to be a monumental failure. it is the story that spanned 6 british prime ministers, nearly 1000000000, but his pounds and every conceivable strategy. there are several mixed feelings about the coronation of king charles, given the history of britain's influence over zimbabwe and its postcolonial history . zimbabwe is a country that has fall, 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 at the twitching of what in the 25th century? you know they are the very same people. this mike, he had 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 say to 80 of the 1000000000 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 there is no democracy in zimbabwe yet, the al, plenty of a coronation, not coronation at the talking of what we're expecting them as the masters of democracy to be giving elections, to choose law, be the a king game, glinetta king to no zebra. once should not celebrate the monarchy because the monarchy has not been good to zimbabwe. the monarchy is the reason why i am, we lost our independence and we were colonized the most 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 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 they imposed on some barbara 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 vouchers for our to use in audi zimbabwe. we travel 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 symbols of the british a corona, iraq still stands as i'm yet today. like the high court you are seeing behind me, which was commissioned in 1957 by queen elizabeth. less than dan judicial assist

him follows the british judicial system, and even the attire won by his am done, the 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 coronation of king charles, this country ought to go back and think again. they 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 to, don't go there, but don't expect the british of them 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 more be, was just a different way to be quite frank with every other so normally days to get an edge of the nation of angels. the 3rd and you really wouldn't know, it was out like,

you know, the signs are very, very discount. so there is a big rural occasion coming out. one of the biggest ones you could argue for nearly 70 years, just speaking about the coronation. we understand that this plan protests on the king's coordination. how's that 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 a 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's it's 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, i remember it vividly. i mean, there was flags, everywhere there was bunting on the street. that street part is the whole place shut down for the day. the cricket matches 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 happens as 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 wall. 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 the today. from now though, from me and the team. good bye. ah ah ah, canada is outsourced, its foreign policy to washington, and washington's agenda is one of the global hegemony. washington will not tolerate

. and i think that they're not even, not even subtle about this. you know, they're, they will not tolerate a global rival. ah ah yeah. oh yeah, it really depends for to conduct ass drives against garza. that comes in response to an earlier rocket attack in southern israel. a violence classes are opting in the west bank over the death of a palestinian mad on a hunger strike is rarely custody. he speaks to his wife. it was $86.00 days. there were harsh teeth and very painful. death and pain every single day. it was almost a paper to see him in court,
