South Africa to dodge calls for Putin’s arrest by moving summit

The Telegraph  

South Africa’s refusal to condemn Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and its hosting of war games with China and Russia have long frustrated the West.

Leaders of the Brics bloc of nations are due to meet in South Africa in August for a summit that Pretoria sees as a cornerstone of its foreign policy. South Africa’s central bank this week warned that any falling-out with the US risked damaging the country’s financial sector.
