South Africa: Pretoria Puzzled By Punitive US Travel Bans - - 'What More Must We Do?'
[Daily Maverick] Even the US ambassador has acknowledged South Africa's progress in meeting President Donald Trump's demands, says President Cyril Ramaphosa's special adviser, Alistair Ruiters, in response to a travel ban on unnamed South Africans announced by the US.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's special adviser, Alistair Ruiters, expressed confusion over the recent US travel ban targeting South Africans. Despite US Ambassador Brent Bozell acknowledging South Africa's progress in meeting five key demands, Pretoria remains puzzled. Ruiters stated that Bozell had explicitly acknowledged addressing two of the five demands, including not interfering in the US refugee program for Afrikaners and rescinding expropriation policies.
However, Ruiters insisted that Bozell also admitted to rejecting the remaining three demands. The South African government is actively engaged in discussions with the US on the unresolved issues and is making progress in resolving them.
