Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, says Cabinet met on Wednesday to discuss the issue of Putin who is due to attend the BRICS summit in South Africa in August. The meeting took place after Ramaphosa and ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said South Africa would withdraw from the ICC.Addressed the media in Pretoria yesterday, Ntshavheni said: “The Federation of the Russian Republic is not a signatory to the ICC and there are rules that the ICC must then comply to it in issuing warrants of arrest for people who are not signatories of the Rome Statute. And so, when you say there are no options, it’s not accurate.
“The committee is in place to consider the options, including the legal opinions that we have weighed. The committee will go to Cabinet and make recommendations after which Cabinet will take decisions and we’ll announce and communicate the decisions of Cabinet,” added Ntshavheni.
