The USβSouth Africa Bilateral Relations Review Bill has passed through the House Committee. It allows the US President to investigate and potentially sanction South African officials over alleged threats to US interests, support for Hamas, ties with Iran and Russia, and the ICJ genocide case against Israel. This could trigger economic sanctions under IEEPA and Magnitsky laws, impacting South Africa’s economy, parastatals, and international relations.

ZASM successfully fought Western sanctions on Zimbabwe using UN reports, legal action, and diplomatic pressure. Their efforts led to the U.S., EU, and UK lifting sanctions, restoring over 100 correspondent banking relationships. Zimbabwe can now process Visa, Mastercard, and international transfers freely.
