The ANC has confirmed several members are on a « working visit to the Russian Federation ».
The visit follows concerns about South Africa’s stance on whether it intends to act on the warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a statement on Saturday evening, the ANC said the visit follows an invitation from United Russia Party, Russia’s largest political party and a « longstanding ally and friend to the ANC ».
« The engagements, which are led by NEC [national executive committee] member and International Relations Subcommittee Deputy Chairperson Obed Bapela, will include discussions on the recalibration of the global order to reverse the consequences of neo-colonialism and the previously prevailing unipolar world, » it said.
