The African National Congress Party chair says South Africa is defending sovereignty

A prominent figure of the ruling African National Congress Party in South Africa has defended his country’s sovereignty amid the increasing tensions with the United States on racial relations and the new land law.

“We are a free country, we are a sovereign state. We are not boycotting the United States and sovereignty will be defended,” said July Mantash, President of the African National Congress Party.

US President Donald Trump came out in the new confiscation law of South Africa, as he signed an executive order in February, saying it was a way for the government to “seize” the agricultural ownership of ethnic minorities without compensation.

President Cyril Ramavusa says the law guarantees “the public’s arrival to the ground in a fair and fair manner.”

The government’s confiscation law allows the seizure of the ground without compensation, but only in certain circumstances.

Trump’s order has also opened the door for African people to be accepted in the United States as refugees, describing them as “victims of non -fair racial discrimination.”

He stands in Ramavusa in a speech at the celebration of Freedom Day in South Africa in the eastern district of Mbumalanga, and Mantashi criticized the citizens of South Africa who called Trump to “punish” the country.

“Now they are asked to go there and be refugees, they refuse. They must go,” he said.

Tensions publicly played on the Elon Musk page, where he described the laws of his country as “racist”.

Currently, South Africa, who are a minority of the population, has most of the lands and special wealth in the country, despite the apartheid system in the apartheid decades ago.

In an attempt to suppress the tensions that erupted months ago, South Africa appointed a special envoy to Washington earlier this month.

Ramavusa said that McBisi Jonas will be assigned to apply for “diplomatic, commercial, commercial and bilateral priorities.”

This step comes yet Washington expelled the Ambassador of South AfricaIbrahim Rasul, after Trump was accused of the “dog whistle” policy.

Last month, officials from the white separatist city of Europe, which was founded by Africanists after the end of the apartheid, visited the United States as part of the efforts made to gain recognition as an independent state.

In his speech on Sunday, Mantash suggested that he would seek to integrate society into Europe.

“Blacks must go and build there, and mix them,” he said.

He added that “hatred cannot escape peace. It is peace that builds a nation.”
