The RNC chief propagandist and heavy weed smoker David
Himbara and a few other loud anti-Rwanda sponsored mouthpiece such as Charles Kambanda
are trending that South African has issued indictments against several
Rwandans. They jubilated victoriously, tweeted, Facebooked and published on
blogs, that the South African prosecutors had issued arrest warrants and
extradition requests in the Karegeya case. They seemed to forget one massive
part when they jubilate, Rwanda too has arrest warrants and extradition requests
issued against RNC leader Kayumba Nyamwasa.
The RNC circles aided by South African white supremacist
group “AfriForum” led by Gerrie Nel used a series of backdoors to generate
hype. The RNC is abusing a little known legal provision of private prosecution
to reignite their propaganda editorial lines. In the murder investigation of
Karegeya, they sought the services of a private prosecution service known to do
everything in its power to undermine South African institutions since the end
of Apartheid. RNC wants to smear Rwanda, AfriForum wants to discredit black South
African’s ability to manage and run South Africa.
Their collusion is based on AfriForum temporarily being color
blind and turning a blind eye on the crimes committed by the terrorist RNC group.
The terrorist group also turns a blind eye on the controversial AfriForum that
publicly claims Apartheid was not a crime. (Read

The SA prosecution and elite police investigation unit had
investigated the crime fully and found no links to Rwanda. In their loophole
tactic, AfriForum and RNC used an informal inquest to refer the matter back to
the National Prosecution Authority once more. Using a lower court in Randburg,
they pressured or possibly corrupted their way to the re-opening Karegeya’s
case to obtain arrest and extradition warrants. What they failed to obtained
with normal procedure, they hope to obtain via a private (paid) prosecution.
Rwanda issued arrest warrants as far back as in 2010 against
Kayumba Nyamwasa (Link
to TNT). As Kayumba had fled the country, he was tried (in absentia),
convicted and sentenced to 24 years for terrorism, complicity and conspiracy to
commit murder amongst other charges.
Kayumba Nyamwasa’s crimes are well documented, he
orchestrated a series of grenade attacks that killed 17 innocent civilians and
injured over 400. His crimes do not just stop in Rwanda, a UN Group of expert
detail how his terrorist organization is involved in terrorisms and trafficking
in DR Congo (UN GoE Report).
The UN Group of Experts details how RNC in P5 (Alliance of terrorist and genocidal
forces) established a network to recruit into their armed groups via Kampala
and Bujumbura also trafficking weapons and smuggling of natural resources in
Congo. Their aim is to establish bases in Easter Congo to launch attacks on
Rwanda.
In 2019, the prosecutor general of Rwanda issued new arrest
warrants on the P5 terrorist network, South African authorities have not honored
any of the requests. If the South African prosecutor honored extradition
request from Rwanda, justice would be severed for thousands of Rwanda and
Congolese victims of the RNC terrorist organization.
In International Law, extradition treaties are bilateral,
reciprocal treaties that are based on good faith. As each state that enters in
an extradition treaty is sovereign no state is ever under the obligation to
honor an arrest or an extradition request, even an INTERPOL issued one. These
agreements are mutual and negotiated as one of the key principals of
international relations is sovereignty which limits jurisdiction within one’s
border. Himbara and his entire team entertain themselves in pointless
jubilation, conning their audiences on something as baseless as warrants with
nothing to back them.
They are supported by a few international neo-colonial
fanatics well placed in different media houses and pseudo human rights activist
organizations. Some of these individuals are journalists at the Guardian
newspaper of UK and others at the Globe and Mail in SA. You will also find that
most people pushing the anti-Rwandan rhetoric are networks of genocide deniers,
revisionists, and those with a political axe to grind with the Rwandan
leadership.
In this Karegeya case, these networks are particularly
vicious as they attempt to kill two birds with one stone. The opportunity to
pin an African state against another was too good to pass, attacking the ANC
and Rwanda by manipulating the South African judicial process.
