South Africa slam planned US sanctions over alleged racial discrimination

South Africa criticized the US plans to impose sanctions on individuals for alleged discrimination against white Afrikaners, calling it a result of 'mischaracterisations' promoted by 'fringe groups'. Minister Ronald Lamola stated that the country is committed to addressing these challenges through constitutional institutions and democratic processes. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the US would restrict visas for those involved in race-based discrimination in South Africa.
