South Africa plans to change its law so that it has the power to decide whether or not to arrest a leader wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), a deputy minister has told the BBC.

 

Obed Bapela's remarks come amid intense speculation over whether South Africa stands by its invitation to Russia's President Putin to visit in August.

 

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Mr Putin over the Ukraine war.

"...change its law so that it has the power to decide whether or not to arrest a leader..."

I have a hunch they will choose not to bust Putin when he visits. Call it intuition...
