Unacceptable Affront To South Africa's Sovereignty!
It was an unacceptable affront to UK sovereignty too, when Kagame planned to kill another dissident in the UK. When this plan was uncovered by the UK Police, nothing was done by the UK Government to warn Kagame. It was business as usual on relations with Kagame. The event did not stop Andrew Mitchell MP and other MPs to travel to Rwanda to venerate Kagame.
It seems to me that UK had already forgotten the 7 July 2005 London bombings (often referred to as 7/7) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks in London, which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the morning rush hour.

Durban - The government is bracing itself for another sharp plunge in
relations with Rwanda after the apparent murder of dissident former
Rwandan spymaster Patrick Karegeya in a plush Sandton, Joburg, hotel
on New Year's Eve.
Officially, Pretoria insists Karegeya's death in a room in the
Michelangelo Towers Hotel remains, for now, an ordinary murder
investigation.
But unofficially, the government is fairly certain the finger of guilt
will point to President Paul Kagame's government – as it did in 2010
when Karegeya's friend and fellow-dissident, ex-army chief General
Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, survived two assassination attempts within a
fortnight.
Official sources said it would be an unacceptable affront to South
Africa's sovereignty if it were proved Kigali had sent agents to this
country to assassinate an opponent.
Director-general of International Relations and Cooperation Jerry
Matjila called in top police, security and intelligence officials on
Thursday to be briefed on the case, they said.
This week, Rwanda's high commissioner to South Africa, Vincent Karega,
denied his government had arranged Karegeya's murder, asking why would
it would have waited six years if it wanted to kill him.
He said Karegeya was under the South African government's protection,
so all questions about what had happened to him should be directed to
it.
However, Karegeya had not been under South African government
protection since April 2011, his nephew David Batenga said yesterday.
He said Karegeya had asked to leave the safe house he had been living
in, so he could earn his own income, rather than rely on the
government for his livelihood, Batenga said.
His protection had ended when he left the safe house and moved to a
gated community in Roodepoort.
Batenga said Karegeya had been betrayed by Rwandan businessman Appollo
Kiririsi Gafaranga, whom he had known since he was head of external
intelligence in Rwanda, according to a statement from the Rwanda
National Congress. - Independent on Saturday.
