Why is South Africa's navy joining exercises with Russia and China?

[Social Media]

South Africa is starting a joint military exercise with Russia and China that opposition figures say amounts to an endorsement of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The US has also criticised the 10-day naval drills, which will continue over the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

But South Africa's government says it remains neutral regarding the conflict, and that it routinely hosts similar drills with other countries, including France and the US.

What are South Africa, Russia and China doing?

The Mosi II naval exercises are taking place in the Indian Ocean, off the South African coast.

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) says 350 members of its armed forces will take part.
