JOHANNESBURG – The High Court in Pretoria has granted an interim order preventing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir from leaving South Africa until the court hears the application calling for his arrest.
This is the Sudanese president's first visit to South Africa since the warrant for his arrest was issued.
Previously South Africa discouraged him from entering the country saying it would be obliged to arrest him.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has two outstanding warrants against his alleging genocide in Sudan's western province of Darfur.
Judge Hans Fabricuis says if al-Bashir leaves the country it will mean reputational damage for South Africa.
He says reasonable steps should be taken for his arrest to be effected in line with the law.
Fabricuis compelled al-Bashir not leave the country.The court will determine whether the warrant is lawful, and whether it is enforceable.
South Africa state must argue why it is not.
The court will reassemble at 3pm.
Meanwhile, ordinary South Africans took to Twitter to share their views on the court's ruling.
