✍️Ambassador of Russia to South Africa Roman Ambarov:
During my visit to Cape Town, I had the honour of visiting the Cape Muslim and Slave Heritage Museum at the Castle of Good Hope. What I experienced there was deeply moving – a powerful reflection on the history and heritage of enslaved communities in South Africa, told through art and memory.
With a collection of over 1,000 paintings, artefacts, photographs, and relics, the museum plays a vital role in sharing this history.
Preserving the memory of slavery is not only about the past. It is about ensuring that such injustice is never forgotten and never repeated, especially at a time when neo-colonial practices are again making themselves felt.
This history resonates on a personal level. Our country has never been a colonial power and has never enslaved African people. On the contrary, we remember that the Soviet Union stood in solidarity with the people of South Africa in their struggle against apartheid, supporting their fight for freedom and dignity.
❗️ Just yesterday, on April 19, our country marked theDay of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People, committed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Our nation knows the pain of such suffering, and this shared historical experience deepens our understanding of the hardships endured by the people of South Africa.
I am sincerely grateful to the museum’s team and guides for their dedication and care in preserving this tragic chapter of history and making it accessible to others.

🗓🎉October 7 — Birthday of Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1931–2021)
A fearless anti-apartheid activist, theologian, and the first Black South African Anglican bishop, Desmond Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his unwavering fight for justice and equality. ✝️✨
🕊🇿🇦 After South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994, President Nelson Mandela appointed him to chair the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) — a crucial step toward national healing after decades of apartheid.
💬Quotes by Desmond Tutu:
• “If you want peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.”
• “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
• “Without forgiveness, there is no future.”
• “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
• “Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.”

🇿🇦On July 21, we honor the legacy of Albert John Luthuli (1898–1967) — South African political leader, anti-apartheid activist, and president of the African National Congress (ANC).
🏆 In 1960, Luthuli became the first African recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his unwavering commitment to nonviolent resistance against racial oppression in apartheid South Africa.
✊ His moral leadership, courage, and commitment to equality continue to inspire generations.
💬 "I am a man of peace. My country can be free—without violence."
🕊 We remember.
