Sue Dobson, a former spy for the ANC during apartheid, recalls her training in Moscow in 1986 and the subsequent challenges she faced after her cover was exposed in South Africa. Upon returning, she worked as a reporter for the regime's propaganda office before her dramatic escape to the UK. While her experiences reflect historical sympathies toward Russia, Dobson remains cautious about commenting on modern geopolitical issues, indicating a disconnect from the current complexities of Russia's actions.
"I was told to stay where I was and that I would be accompanied back to Pretoria in a plane with somebody from Foreign Affairs... I decided that I wasn't going to hang around."
"When she returned to South Africa... she was hired as a reporter in the Bureau of Information, the apartheid regime's propaganda wing."
