By Corruption Buzz On Jun 10, 2023

Welcome to the Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh Xperience (SMWX), the home of no-holds-barred political analysis, where we ask the tough questions to provide you with the insights you need.

In today’s video, we dive headlong into one of the most controversial topics in international relations right now: Should South Africa arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin? With an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) earlier this year, the question is all the more relevant as Putin prepares for his arrival in South Africa for the BRICS Summit in August.

We’ll be breaking down this contentious issue, examining the potential implications for South Africa, its foreign policy, and its standing in the global community. Could this pivotal decision change the face of South African diplomacy? What would be the repercussions on a geopolitical scale? Join us as we dig deep, not just into this burning issue but also as we take a broader look at South African foreign policy.

From analysis of historical precedence to weighing in on potential future scenarios, this video is a must-watch for anyone keen on understanding the intricacies of international politics, and the unique challenges and dilemmas faced by South Africa in the global arena.
