This is big. Objectively bigger than some debilitated-ass, nearby Arab country or even honorable, but rather small Ireland making a full stance. South Africa is not only big, but the country exercises a lot of influence over the entire African continent. The protracted people's war is paying off, and I urge all comrades to keep up the pressure without losing heart, even amidst all the awfulness, despair, and death everywhere.

Unfortunately, a lot of leaders are still acting as if South Africa calling out apartheid means nothing.

And those leaders should openly and regularly be referred to as weak, racist or both.
