The African National Congress (ANC) has described the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) issuing of a warrant of arrest for Russian President Vladimir Putin as ill-advised and has the potential to exacerbate the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

File: The ANC's Head of Campaigns, Mdumiseni Ntuli.International Criminal Court’s issuing of a warrant of arrest for Russian President Vladimir PutinThe Court in The Hague has issued a warrant for Putin to be charged with crime against humanity.

Putin is scheduled to come to South Africa for the BRICS summit later this year in Pretoria as the Chair convenes the annual meeting of the BRICS club. This is, however, not the first time that South Africa finds itself in a similar predicament. In 2015, during the Jacob Zuma administration, Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir escaped arrest in the country after an ICC issued a warrant of arrest against him.

Speaking to the SABC ahead of the party president Cyril Ramaphosa’s engagement with civil society at Johannesburg City Hall, the ANC Head of Campaigns, Mdumiseni Ntuli, says the imminent arrest of Putin will not solve anything.

ICC is a clownish useless entity, who is still a member of this 🗑 court? I thought South Africa left this dump several years ago What happened? When will Blair, George Bush, Obama be inducted for crimes against humanity?

ANC needs to be removed from power and should never ever be allowed to govern in any form as their morals of leaders are of know benefit to our society. They must fall

Not ILL-ADVISED but ILL-ORDERED by the terrorists in the USA

JackLon09169906 What other response can one expect from PutinsPuppet buttkissers?

100% right, with or without exacerbation,the 🇷🇺 SMO will continue and fulfil it's goals.The so call ICC is already compromised and has no moral like it's western owners. Mr Putin will never be arrested by anyone or any court! Nevertheless they are welcome to hallucinate,🇷🇺🇷🇺🇿🇦🇿🇦.

RSA will definitely show the ICC a middle finger, mine is already up.🖕

The ANC politicians are connected with a bunch of murderers and assassins

Surly a crime is a crime. Oh I forget the ANC can spin any crime into something good and honorable.

What would the ANC leaders be saying if it were their children who were abducted? Let us see if anyone of them will have the courage to respond to this question!!!!

It is not ill-advised at all...it is a war crime. One that has had many casualties on both sides.

Fact is Rupert own the news with his friend ramapalony

Why didn't the arrest president Trump? Nd they will never arrest putin mark my words cos u all not informed of wat is happening around the world nd in ur own countries

It shows dat this mainstream media is full of propaganda nd as long as u follow this mainstream media news u will b lost cos it's full of nonsense

Of course the ANC would say that Time for the ICC to issue warrants for the ANC

How is it ill advised?

Criminals protecting criminals! You were quiet when Putler abducted Ukrainian children and paraded them!

Zuma was right to withdraw the country from this kangaroo court, but then some clever guys rescinded his decision, and now... we are in sh!t again

Why not use Ramaphosa picture?

Until they make a warrant for Bush and Blair for two illegal wars according to international law, we see that the ICC is a joke. It couldn't even arrest US soldiers that tortured people.

ProfJNMoyo Is it right to abduct children frm other countries?

Now is the great opportunity for SA to withdraw from ICC, we all know that ICC is used for western politically motivated prosecutions, otherwise many western leaders should have warrants for their arrest.

So where are the prosecuted taken? Which prison?

This an ICC court decision which is a decision way over the heads of the ANC.

Maggy was right. They are a terrorist organization

ProfJNMoyo ANC should shut up. What exacerbation can compare to the destruction Russia has visited on Ukraine

A default Luthuli House response.

The ANC is a kangaroo Congress - nothing they say or do should be taken with any level of seriousness this is just them trying to strengthen their ties with Russia they don’t give a shit about the conflict in Ukraine lol

Maybe MYANC should realise that its buddy is accused of being a war criminal and, if convicted, could go to jail. What Putin did, he must pay for

African countries supporting dictators is worrisome. African people should be worried about their leaders relationship with dictators and murderers

ProfJNMoyo Kkkķk i thought it wise that some African brothers desist from commenting when big giants tussle.

And south africa should pull out of this icc

In conclusion; no arrest of Putin will happen here in SA when he comes. SA has maintained neutrality& shouldn't be dragged into this wars. Infact it should withdraw from ICC to save itself

ProfJNMoyo What exacerbation that will surpass the invasion? It was inevitable that dialogue had failed when the decision was taken to go to war. Too late!

This statement says nothing

Afraid of the nazis from Wagner ?

🙄🙄🙄🙄😷😷😷😷mzansi with possibilities once again it started with Omar Albashir now Russian president...but I don't blame them South Africa respects human rights unless if it is in black and white but not practical in reality...

Here we go! MYANC laying the ground work to repeat the Al-Bashir mess! We know how to be on the wrong side of history!

of course they will they protect criminals .

Who would have guessed. The fact is that Putin is a war hungry Nazi criminal

They would wouldn’t they

That what the west wants That is what USA wants More bloodshed and more death
