‘No more. America has just so much patience’: Bozell warns SA of more to come after visa restrictions

US ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III has cautioned South Africa that the visa restrictions imposed by the US against individuals accused of race-based discrimination and land seizures are merely the first step in a series of escalating measures to demonstrate America's firm stance on the matter. South Africa's handling of minority rights, particularly concerning White South Africans, has drawn sharp rebuke from Washington.

In response to these restrictions, Bozell stated that America has reached its limit of patience, demanding meaningful and lasting relations. Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela dismissed Bozell's threats, arguing that crime disproportionately affects black South Africans due to systemic social engineering policies. She emphasized that these policies are not mere accidents or misfortunes but direct outcomes of state-led discrimination.
