A bill that would call on the US government to review its relations with South Africa has passed the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee on a voice vote. There are of course several other hurdles. This bill will require the administration to report to Congress on whether or not SA has engaged in activities that undermine the United States’ national security or foreign policy interests.

The US uses trade relations as a political weapon. No wonder most countries want to break away from the US and join BRICS. They should not dictate policy to other countries.
Sorry Pof, you are utterly captured by the west. You lack knowledge.
South Africa must live according to her own rules, we cannot be America's lapdog
Pandora think South Africa belongs to the ANC and not all that are born in South -Africa.
It’s not true what this man is saying about Minister Pandor. Also, his knowledge or narrative on the Ukraine war is without context and misses a whole lot of facts. Please resist the urge to interview people who have a side in these matters.
History did not begin on October 7, but him being part of the people of Izril, of course he is going to begin there on both the Palestine and Ukraine matters.
People say that a country is better off as an enemy than as a friend of that country. Quoting a former Us secretary of state they say being a friend is lethal. South Africa is going to find out why this is so.
Scary to think that this man is training South Africa’s future international law “experts”.
South Africa must not keep american in this coutry they must go they can not apply their law in this country we are man also
Who cares. We do not want any interaction with the Americans. They should take all their 600 companies and leave our land.
Why do they think South Africa has aligned with BRICS? Because we certainly do not want them here. Remember these Americans supported the apartheid white minority government.
South africa must cut relations with USA and UK
I don't know how valuable platinum is but we should start treating it the way these countries treat oil and other critical resources.
USA must get out of Africa
IQ of Russians and Chinese and indians far surpass South Africa, they will just milk our economy grow their economies not ours ,
Hit South Africa with heavy sanctions or force the ANC to step aside…
Sensible man, tells the difficult truth.
Yes SA needs trade with ALL COUNTRIES of the world just as all countries need each other, provided ITS A WIN WIN relation built on respect and trust. Just as SA will loose the amount of trade with the US so will the US have some kind of lose. We cant keep saying we need people who wish to dictate to us what we need to do with ourselves and how our systems must run. Mind you the so-called economy DOES NOT favour THE MAJORITY of the people of SA. Would you let you boss tell you what to eat,how to raise your kids, not to take your kids to school and when to do things with your spouse JUST BECAUSE they pay your salary? Apply yourselves and look beyond YOUR 4 WALLS and see SA and Everyone in it. america and europe ARE NOT THE WORLD! RUSSIA has had their "relations reconsidered" buy the US and Europe and the people are LIVING and they do business with people of sane minds. Ofcause they would love to work with everyone as long as they are not on drugs.
Cry our beloved country. There will be more hungry tummies in RSA. Govt is running dizzy. Nxaaahhh
All this commentary will eventually becomeoni reduntant after 29 May 2024. The African tectonic plate is shifting. Our aim is to align with the Global South. There will be challenges naturally and thats all part of the process. This should not be seen as a catastrophe for South Africans. American views of the world are American views and not African views. Africans just need to understand that it starts with having access to their resources then becoming productivity. America is not the means and end!
The US cannot bear that they have been showed up by South Africa.
It's about time someone took South Africa's government to task
We dnt want USA in south Africa let them go and live our minerals we can trade with African as a COUNTRY . One Africa one currency
Who cares about America?
South Africa doesn't have to worry about the USA,they have the help from Hamas
😂
is this person SOUTH AFRICAN or american
Pandor for President – of Hamas !
Amazing how we are the biggest and main beneficiary of AGOA, to the tune of BILLIONS, but we chose to align with countries that have single digit trade with us……..and then bleat on and on about 'sovereignty'. You can't claim sovereign status with a begging bowl in your hands, IF YOU HOLD THE PURSE STRINGS, YOU PULL THE STRINGS.
She must go, she is doing too much damage
Close relations with Iran is viewed as a problem as well as financial cooperation. Moral voice?
It's high time for not only South Africa but SADC even the entire continent to start decoupling from the USA. This kind of blackmail is they're go to every time a country wants to do something in it's own best interest. The reality is the American's need Africa and not the other way round. Let them take their business, their money and all the siphoning of African resources. And let's see who will thrive and who will struggle in the long run. Right now after the country they are happy to call the poorest country in Niger asked their Army to leave they don't want to. But they feel they can just bully and blackmail African countries.
