On Tuesday, alongside others, Sevenster joined the Ukrainian Association in SA in a peaceful picket outside he Dirco offices in Pretoria and Cape Town, to protest against the SA government for not condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine strongly enough.
The Ukraine Association in South Africa has called for the SA government to immediately condemn the Russian war in Ukraine and to support the constitution that respects human rights, democracy and international law.
“When my friends in SA ask me, how is my family, I don’t say they are fine, I say they are alive and thank you that they are alive. Putin has only one intention — to destroy the nation of Ukraine — he hates it, he wants to destroy the language, culture and take the land for himself for whatever purpose he wants. Putin is a liar,” Sevenster said.
Another protester, Anastasia Korpeso, said she had signed up to all possible Ukrainian news agencies to keep up to date with the news.
