        It is my sincere guess that the ANC is becoming an institutional Dictator down there. Not good for the Legacy of MADIBA

        Nonsense. What is dictatorial deciding to withdraw from a court that only has é nerve to prosecute #African leaders alone but no one else ?

        Never, African countries as a whole should not be signatories to the ICC because it is biased against Africa

        France has never been held accountable for what they have done to Francophone African countries. Yet we are supposed to subscribe to the ICC
