We know South African politicians have a fantastic ability to colour outside of the law in various shades of grey when there is some enrichment for themselves. If we can’t benefit from that wealth, could we at least benefit from that skill?
Hoorah! There is finally appetite among political circles with influence to charge the Guptas with some crimes! It certainly took them long enough! I can say that with confidence, seeing as it may have taken too long and if Sunday’s Vavi tweet is anything to go by, they’re getting off free.
The UAE has even been stalling their internal ratification of our extradition treaty signed in 2018 . Why? Well why not? Who, of influence on the international stage, would fault them for not caving to a request from the international joke that is South Africa? In 2016, the UAE even rejected extradition requests from the UK on the strength of the five-year timeline issue for one of the biggest money laundering cases the country has ever seen, and nobody even batted an eyelid.
Even in instances where it is enforceable, who has the political will to spend resources enforcing agreements when there are more important things going on domestically?
