South Africa Rejects 'Deeply Flawed' US Report Criticizing Its Human Rights Record
In its annual human rights report released Tuesday, the US State Department accused South Africa of taking “a substantially worrying step” toward land expropriation of Afrikaners and committing further abuses against racial minorities.
The report comes as South Africa faces 30% US tariffs on many of its exports, the highest applied to any sub-Saharan African country. This came as a result of criticism from the Trump administration over land and employment policies aimed at redressing racial inequalities.
Pretoria’s foreign ministry responded on Tuesday with “profound disappointment,” stating that the reports misrepresents the reality of South Africa’s constitutional democracy.
