Rubio announces new visa restrictions targeting South African officials for ‘race-based discrimination’
The policy targets people tied to land seizures, race-based discrimination and incitement of violence, with Washington saying it may affect family members.
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals in South Africa involved in alleged "race-based discrimination" and "uncompensated land seizures."
- Relations between Washington and Pretoria have soured since President Donald Trump criticized land reform policies, claiming in the Oval Office that White South Africans face "persecution and genocide."
- By late June of this year, The United States had admitted more than 7,700 Afrikaners while largely shuttering its refugee program for the rest of the world.
- Rubio stated these actions "directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law," urging South Africa to address legislation and threats of land expropriation.
- CNN has investigated claims of White "genocide" in South Africa and found no evidence, while President Cyril Ramaphosa denied the government supports racial violence or discriminatory rhetoric.
