Ramaphosa says government is still mulling over Putin's visit to SA

JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa said government was still deliberating over Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to South Africa.

An arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court was issued against Putin, who is scheduled to visit the country during a BRICS summit later this year. As a signatory to the Rome Statute, South Africa is obliged to arrest Putin if he lands on South African soil. Answering a question from the media, during a State visit by Namibian President Hage Geingob earlier on Thursday, Ramaphosa said South Africa had invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the summit."We have noted what the ICC has said in relation to President Putin. And we ourselves are still discussing this matter. It is a matter that is still under consideration. We await all the BRICS members on whether they are coming or not.

But Ramaphosa’s Namibian counterpart believes South Africa should rather use its own laws to determine Putin's fate."South Africa should decide whether they are going to invite Putin. It is a very difficult situation. The other time, it was Omar al-Bashir. So they are targeting you, right?"

How did these useless politicians end up getting us into the middle of this guy's end of life crisis? Nxa!!

Please dear God don't get us involved. Don't do anything dumb on any side.

High court orders corruption-accused Agrizzi to attend criminal trials virtuallyThe Pretoria High Court order follows a judicial inquiry into Agrizzi’s repeated absence from the dock due to his ill health. Not a problem there, but tell me, this man is on oxygen and is going to trail. What about Jacob Zuma that claimed to be so sick but nothing has happened to him and his trial? Why is it only good for the white man and not the black man?
