US lawmakers push for sanctions against ANC officials
JOHANNESBURG - The US may review its diplomatic relations with South Africa.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has approved the US-SA Bilateral Relations Review Act.
It still has to be sent to the House and then Senate and be ratified by the President before it becomes law.
This may still take a while with the House in recess until September.
The bill also proposes sanctions on officials over alleged ties to adversaries like China, Russia, Iran and Hamas.
AfriForum is welcoming the passing of the bill, while the ANC says it will not compromise its principles.
