The African National Congress (ANC) Umkhonto we Sizwe Liberation War Veterans organization says South Africa will not be bullied by the United States.
The association says it stands with government and remains resolute in protecting the sovereignty of South Africa.
The organization is holding its inaugural conference in Bloemfontein in the Free State, where it will elect a new leadership.
ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu says they are behind global multi-lateralism
“As quoted in the Freedom Charter, we shall bequeth peace and friendship. We always speak about a free Africa, we always speak about a free South Africa. The US administration is threatening what is considered to be our historical values, in terms of how we participate in geopolitics.”
