South Africa Will Continue Its Transformation Agenda Despite Pressure From US, ANC Party SaysIf it means that the party's leaders will be subjected to US sanctions — "let it be," ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula stated."We'll never beg imperialists to subvert our democracy, to subvert our sovereignty. [...] The Trump administration is asking us to abandon the essence of who we are and that is not going to be possible," he told a media briefing.While the US demanded South Africa to abandon post-apartheid laws aimed at tackling racial inequality, any concessions that would undermine the national interest are not an option the official emphasized.US lawmakers are currently considering the US-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025, a bill that could allow sanctions on senior ANC and government officials if enacted.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
