President Robert Mugabe's "spin doctor" Jonathan Moyo has castigated the South African Litigation Centre (SALC), describing it as a "regime change outfit dominated, controlled & run by a white cabal with Rhodie or apartheid links".
Moyo, who is currently out of his ministerial post after Mugabe "temporarily" removed him from government, took his criticism of SALC to social media just before the High Court in Pretoria made its ruling over the failure by the South African government to arrest Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir during the recent African Union (AU) summit in Johannesburg.
The court had granted an application by the SALC that Al-Bashir be arrested in SA and be handed over to the ICC for prosecution. Al-Bashir, however, managed to leave the country before the end of the summit.
As an ICC signatory, South Africa was obliged to arrest him.
Moyo posted several tweets on Wednesday.
