A Republican member of the US Congress has introduced a resolution calling on the administration of President Joe Biden to review its relationship with South Africa.

This follows its hosting of joint-military exercises with China and Russia which are taking place off the northern KwaZulu-Natal coast this week.The resolution, introduced by Representative John James of Michigan and submitted to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, urges the South African government to cancel all future military exercises between the two countries.

It also calls on South Africa to respect the United Nations Charter and publicly oppose what it says is “Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine”.

This includes a detailed account of the positive economic results stemming from South Africa’s inclusion in the African Growth and Opportunity Act and the US-South Africa Trade and Investment Framework signed in 2012. The resolution also called on South Africa to maintain its national sovereignty by reducing its reliance on Chinese companies in key sectors, including ICT.

We cannot ignore that the US is a dictator. SA has never intervened in US military drills, why would are they intervening in SA. But ke as we know Ramas is their puppet he will gladly abide by his masters rules. We should be free as a country to work with whomever we want to.

I'm no fan of Russia but the irony of MAGA Republicans criticising South Africa while ignoring the Trump-Putin bromance is not lost on anyone. Not forgetting, of course, the $10million per DAY financial aid the US pays to fund apartheid IsraeliTerrorism in Palestine .

SA should do so on it's end too. DIRCO_ZA PresidencyZA So that when or if the US reviews and comes to us with different agreements, we can also respond in kind. There are a lot of unfavorable agreements with the Us. AGOA and do away with the Peace Corps Agreement. SA US

China stole Tibet, and the ANC ignores this

If the resolution is passed South Africa is going to be another failed state like Zimbabwe.

They finish our commanding heights of the economy now they want to run away, opportunistic

Its time to end corrupt USA in our country they are busy milking our natural resources while they have nothing to offer us it's about time

Start with blatant corruption

That review must take the form of freezing and nationalising Anglo-American, Glencore and every business with roots from apartheid years. This dying US must be careful with their low level senators.

About time. I do not trust the AnC, China or Russia!!!!
