US Secretary of State Rubio announced a new policy on the 15th to restrict the issuance of visas to South African officials accused of “racial discrimination.” Rubio said in a statement that the South African government has failed to adequately address “racially motivated crimes and government-sponsored discrimination” against Afrikaners and other ethnic minority groups. As a result, the US is imposing visa restrictions on foreign citizens involved in South Africa-related policies involving “race-based discriminatory legislation, the threat of expropriation of land without pay, and incitement to racial violence through slogans and slogans.”
