U.S. envoy criticizes South Africa’s policies, sparking backlash over foreign interference.
U.S.
Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III criticized South Africa’s domestic and foreign policies during a public speech in Hermanus, urging the country to address issues including the "Kill the Boer" chant, the Expropriation Act, and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) policies.
He cited unmet U.S. requests, such as condemning the chant, reconsidering B-BBEE, and adopting a non-aligned stance internationally, while expressing concern over South Africa’s diplomatic actions toward Iran and its criticism of U.S. policies.
South African leaders, including the ANC and EFF, rejected the remarks as interference, affirming national sovereignty and rejecting foreign demands.
President Ramaphosa reaffirmed B-BBEE as a core policy, while the U.S. emphasized the importance of reciprocal engagement and investor confidence.
