Instead, South Africa would continue “to advocate for that Bill to be torn up and not to proceed in any form or state”, Pandor said.
When the Bill becomes law, it will ensure that the US monitored and assessed the scale and scope of Russia’s activities in Africa that could potentially counter the US interests on the continent.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called the US Congress bill on the fight against Russian activities in Africa “an American provocation” which harms primarily the Africans themselves and reflects the West’s colonial approach to the countries of the continent.
The Russian official stressed that he had no doubts that even those who do not comment on this kind of “US provocation” still have a deep conviction that “this law harms Africans first of all.” It could impose sanctions and other restrictions against Russia and any African government that supported Russia’s malign influence and activities on the continent.
