Speaking at the Union Buildings during the Portugal state visit to South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa says the war has gone far too long now.

“We are now at the stage where we are going to visit Kyiv and Moscow and our mission is a peace mission really and we want to double as a road to peace. The first thing we discussed among ourselves is that we want to listen to both sides. They need to outline to us their perspective on the war,” he adds.

Ramaphosa has reiterated that South Africa will remain neutral on how to end the conflict and will continue to advocate for negotiation and dialogue between the warring parties.
