President Cyril Ramaphosa says the decision by the US Congress committee on foreign affairs to approve the bill, which is aimed at punishing South Africa, still has to go through the process before it can become law.
Authored and introduced by Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson in April, the US-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025 is viewed as part of efforts to provide President Donald Trump with the tools necessary to impose sanctions on South African officials in government and the African National Congress in particular who choose to support American adversaries like China, Russia and Iran.
Speaking to the media, the President says South Africa will continue to engage the US.
“We have heard about what has happened in the house committee, and the whole process still has a long way to go and discussions will be ongoing, and we don’t know what is driving all these. Our bilateral dealings and engagements with the United States will continue,” President Ramaphosa says.
