“The governing party, the ANC, has taken the decision that it is prudent that South Africa should pull out of the ICC largely because of the manner in which the ICC has been seen to be dealing with these types of problems,” said Ramaphosa.However, Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya later said the country will remain a signatory to the court.“This clarification follows an error in a comment made during a media briefing held by the ANC on South Africa’s status with regard to the ICC.
South Africa remained a signatory to the ICC in line with the ANC’s 55th national conference to rescind an earlier decision to withdraw from the court, he added. Ntshavheni said at the joint media engagement with the Finnish president, a journalist asked Ramaphosa a question relating to governing party decisions, as communicated by the secretary-general.“The president spoke of the decision of the governing party and on that same day the governing party clarified decisions of its own meetings and the various options that they are considering.
Ntshavheni said if Putin was in the country and protected by the presidential protection service, she did not know how Winde, “who does not have even policing functions”, would be able to effect an arrest. “Premier Winde can dream about whatever, but what is important in the work of the IMC is to consider the various options.
