issuing an arrest warrant for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, but the Economic Freedom Fighters said the Russian leader was “welcome” in South Africa.
South Africa as a member state of the ICC is legally obliged to arrest Putin. But the country has rich historical ties with Russia. This puts pressure on President, who has already been caught in the crossfire between Russia and the United States. In 2015 the government came in for criticism when it failed to arrest the then Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir, when he visited South Africa to attend an African Union summit. South Africa was required to do so because it is a signatory to the Rome Statute.
