South Africa and the US are locked in a heated diplomatic fight! The US Secretary of State demanded South Africa drop its “racebased revenge laws” to keep its G20 spot. This challenges South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies, which help black citizens. The US move is driven by its own politics and lobbying. South Africa can’t back down without huge economic and political problems, making this a highstakes standoff with global consequences.
