Summary
The U.S. is cracking down on South Africa, revoking visas for officials accused of fueling racial discrimination and land seizures — a move slammed by Pretoria as baseless and an assault on sovereignty. While Washington cites apartheid-era reparations as justification, Johannesburg insists its policies are essential to healing historical wounds. Tensions escalate as the U.S. threatens more sanctions if South Africa doesn’t change course — a stark reminder that diplomatic rifts can quickly turn into economic showdowns.
