Could The ICJ Case Be Thrown Out

South Africa, once coined the ‘Darling of the World ‘, thanks to some Madiba magic and the perceived victory over apartheid, is, in my opinion, nowhere near what it is supposed to be or look like. With pressure from all sides mounting on our inept ANC-led government, the foreign policy spearheaded by Ramaphosa, Lamola and the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Naledi Pandor (now the new Chair of the Nelson Mandela Foundation), South Africa is in trouble.

New evidence has surfaced that South Africa, or let us rather say Ramaphosa and his ANC cohorts, knew about the imminent attack by Hamas on the Jews at a music festival on October 7th, 2023. On a recent podcast by Byron Sheperd, a gentleman by the name of Justin Lewis, who is part of a lobby group for the Prevention of Corruption by courts, mentioned a potential R400M lawsuit that could be imposed on Cyril Ramaphosa for allegedly being aware of the October 7th massacre of Israeli and US citizens. According to President Donald Trump’s executive order 14204, this would make the ANC president complicit in siding with individuals who seek to destroy President Trump, or even worse, possibly end his life—this all sounds very serious and still needs to be proven, but as they always say, “where there is smoke, there is a fire”…..

Let’s be very clear: the Hamas terror group, stupidly known to be a ‘resistance movement,’ is not a signatory to the ICJ, nor is it a state. If it is true that the ANC government, led by Naledi Pandor in this case, had prior knowledge of the Oct 7th attack, in other words, having had an opportunity to prepare for the case before the event even happened, this would mean that purely on technical grounds, the case would have to be reversed. This has nothing to do with the merit of the case but more to do with the technicality of having prior knowledge of this horrific, barbaric event and somehow being financially rewarded for accusing Israel!

The potential misuse of the International Court to attack Israel is a very serious matter indeed and must be scrutinized. All roads lead to DIRCO, and if this all comes out as being true, I do not see how the ANC, or South Africa, for that matter, would survive the potential onslaught from the global audience, let alone the embarrassment of accusing a sovereign nation, such as Israel, of a genocide when your own backyard is festering with poverty, crime, corruption and farm murders, which are simply denied and ignored.
