Many would think that the South Africa that recently evidenced the upsurge of xenophobia attacks would encourage other African countries to stay in the ICC as her efforts to create a good rapport in the realpolitik of the world. However, there are those who think that the ANC took such a misguided decision aiming at shifting the attention of South Africans vis-à-vis corruption and incompetent rule in the country presided over by the same ANC. Although it is the countries right to remain or withdraw from any organisation, it is irrational and counterproductive for South Africa to withdraw from the ICC. I wonder, if –let say –we reverse the clock and see some apartheid top brass before the ICC charged for crimes against humanity for the many years they mismanaged south Africa, would the ANC take the same stance? Isn’t this holier than though apart from being hypocritical and selfishness.
