Putin pulls out of South Africa summit amid arrest threat
South Africa would be legally obliged to arrest the Russian president should he make a trip there next month for the BRICS summit.

Interesting spin. South African courts would put out an arrest warrant. He wouldn’t be arrested. South Africa would then be sanctioned by NATO members. The South African ruling party thus asked the Kremlin to spare them this fate.
There is a precedent to this situation (al Bashir).
As someone from the Westin Cape of South Africa I know the DA party would be insane enough to use the metropolitan police that they more or less control to symbolicaly arrest him for the publicity if they where given the chance.
DA is the majority party of the Western Cape where Putin would be visiting.
I sometimes feel like the DA would damn us all for the sake of a little publicity
Would the DA be willing to get Cape Town nuked by an offshore submarine? I guess we will never get the opportunity to find out.
