Dunstan Mlambo, Judge of Gauteng Division of the High Court of South Africa, has given government seven days ultimatum to file an affidavit on how and when President Omar al-Bashir left the country.

He said on Tuesday in Johannesburg that this opened the possibility that the Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, and other officials could be prosecuted for aiding al-Bashir’s departure.

The South African government said it would investigate how Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, slipped out of the country.

Phumla Williams, acting Cabinet Spokesperson, said government noted the judgment of the North Gauteng High Court on the matter barring him from leaving the country.

She said as indicated in court, government would enquire the circumstances under which president al-Bashir left the country.

Williams said that government would also comply with the court order, relating to submission of an affidavit outlining the circumstances.

Meanwhile, the South African Litigation Centre, which brought the urgent order for al-Bashir’s arrest on Sunday, said there appeared to be a prima facie case that the order that he should not leave the country was violated.

Stevens Mokgalapa, a parliamentarian, and member of the Democratic Alliance, said that the South African government had stooped to a “disgraceful and cynical new low”.

He said that it had demonstrated to the world that it did not believe in justice for grave international crimes. Mokgalapa said that the flouting of the law sets a disturbing precedent that the executive was allowed to simply ignore the rulings of a High Court of South Africa.

“Wrong message has been sent out to the world by our president and other leaders appearing all smiles and relaxed in the company of one of the world’s most wanted men.

“This is an indication that South Africa does not believe in the rule of law and justice for grave international crimes,” he said.

OMG! I better go olx to check if his helicopter is listed. Countdown to payday

The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has promised to pay workers in the state their salaries before the end of this month.

The governor made the promise in a statement issued in Osogbo on Sunday by his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon.

Most workers are being owed seven months’ salaries.

But the statement was silent on whether the governor would pay the backlog or he would pay part of the salaries.

The statement read in part, “Before the end of June, workers would be paid their salaries.”

The governor stated that he had a great dream for the state and that was why he was in a hurry to begin many programmes which had earned him applause even outside the country.

He added, “The dream has not gone awry and it is a clear vision that Osun must be on its feet, self-reliant and be a reference point in Nigeria. The race to ensure development within the first term of Aregbesola was informed by the fear of what is happening now.

“Aregbesola wanted an Osun State that is self-reliant. That Osun State, almost two decades after its creation, could not boast of tax-paying companies speak volume about the magnitude of the works that awaited the Aregbesola administration.

“But he did not shy away from this task of industrialisation. Within his first term, his government had caused investors to bring up companies, such as the Omoluabi Garment Factory, Osogbo and Adulawo/RLG Technology Company in Ilesa.

“Just last month, a leading telephone line company, Airtel, came to establish partnership with the Adulawo/RLG Company. These are aside the various agro-allied companies which have benefited from the growth schemes of the Aregbesola administration throughout the state.

“The government has also commenced aggressive drive for the development of the solid mineral sector with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with an Australian mining firm, Andalusia Mining Industry.

“It was in the same vein that the idea of an airport for aircraft maintenance was conceived.

“Only a lazy administration would accept the tag of Osun State as a ‘civil servant’ state as excuse for not developing initiatives for industrialisation.

“To accept that our state must continue to survive on the meagre inflow through what goes to the civil servants alone is to accept that we would continue to depend on external forces for our survival.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues her reign as the most powerful woman on the planet for 10 years running. Why? She clinched a third four-year term of Europe's most vibrant economy in December 2014, making her the longest-serving elected EU head of state. She fought off a national recession during the global economic crisis with stimulus packages and government subsidies for companies that cut hours for workers, and she is in the thick of trying to help Greece revive its economy.

cramjones:
PMB has shown so much class and resilience in the face of political jesters. Did he goof by saying West Germany? Yes, but who doesn't? Do we refer to NEPA instead of PHCN? Yes - so what's the difference? Is Merkel a Nigerian name? No. So why must PMB be subjected to pronounce it right?

Again, we must desist from calling the president names. What in the world is "Daura President"? This must stop! Let us join Hands and support PMB who means well for the progress of this country!

If they hadn't lifted the story from Sahara Reporter (by referencing Sowore), the story would have been totally false.

I just don't understand why people visit that blog- perhaps to check out the latest lie against the President/Government and have a good laugh?
There is simply no truth in anything published by thebreakingtimes, just like hopefornigeria, theguardiannewsusa and the rest of those PDP sponsored blogs.

Obanikoro's cup would soon be so full it would run over.
