US Announces Visa Restrictions on South African Nationals Over Discrimination Claims
The United States announced new visa restrictions that will bar certain South African foreign nationals from entering the U.S. The restrictions target individuals the U.S. State Department says have enabled uncompensated land seizures, race‑based discrimination, or incitement of imminent violence against minority ethnic or racial groups. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the South African government has not adequately addressed the concerns raised by Washington. The South African government rejected the U.S. accusations, calling them unfounded. The policy was announced by the State Department and is intended to pressure South Africa on the cited issues.
