The original high court action over Zuma’s politically contrived release was brought by the DA, the Helen Suzman Foundation and AfriForum; the application regarding Putin’s arrest by the DA.
It would be a “reckless, unconstitutional and unlawful exercise of the powers conferred upon the government to declare war with Russia.”One can understand why Ramaphosa would want to keep such an illogical, legally threadbare document secret. In essence, he is saying South Africa will gaily sign international conventions but if asked to abide by them, will, on the flimsiest pretexts, fail to honour its obligations.
The ruling by Deputy Judge President Roland Sutherland may be legally moot in light of the announcement on Wednesday that Putin will, “by mutual agreement”, not attend and instead be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, the DA says it will proceed with its application. In almost identical circumstances, the 2015 ANC flouted its constitutional obligations when it failed to implement an ICC warrant to arrest another genocidal pal of the ruling party, Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir.
