South Africa will protect the sovereignty, says AnC chairman against the background of tensions in the United States

A senior figure from the ruling party of the South Africa Africa defended its country’s sovereignty against the background of increasing tensions with the United States over racial relations and new law on Earth.

“We are a free country, we are a sovereign country. We are not the province of the United States and that the sovereignty will be protected,” said the national chairman of the Anc Gwede Mantashe on Sunday.

US President Donald Trump has hit the new South Africa Alienation Act by signing an executive order in February, saying that this is a remedy for which the government can “seize agricultural properties of ethnic minorities without compensation.”

President Cyril Ramafosa says the law guarantees “public access to land in a fair and fair way.”

The alienation law allows the government to seize the land without compensation, but only in certain circumstances.

Trump’s February order also opened the African door to be accepted in the United States as refugees, describing them as “victims of unjust racial discrimination.”

But by standing for Ramafosa in a speech of the Freedom Day of South Africa in the eastern province of Mpumalanga, Mantache criticized South African citizens who called on Trump to “punish” the country.

“Now they are told to go there and have refugees, they refuse. They have to go,” he said.

The tension also played publicly on the X page of Elon Musk, where he identified the laws of ownership of his country as a “racist”.

Currently, white South Africans, who are a minority of the population, have the greater part of the country’s private land and wealth, despite the racist system of apartheid, which ended decades ago.

In an attempt to suppress the tension that is inflated for months, South Africa has appointed a special envoy in Washington earlier this monthS

Mcebisi Jonas will be tasked with improving “diplomatic, commercial and bilateral priorities of the country,” Ramafosa said.

This move comes after Washington expelled the ambassador of South AfricaEbrahim Rasuol after accusing Trump of Dog Blow’s policy.

Last month, employees from the all -white separatist city of Orania, founded by Africaari after the end of apartheid, visited the United States as part of the effort to receive recognition as an autonomous state.

A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry in South Africa told Reuters at a time that oran was not a country and was the subject of laws in South Africa.
