SA-US RELATIONS: US ‘very disappointed’ with SA vote on Venezuela By Peter Fabricius Pfabric

The United States found it “very disappointing” that South Africa voted in the UN Security Council in February 2019 against a US resolution which called for fresh elections in Venezuela to resolve the worsening humanitarian crisis in the country.

Nagy was also adamant that Washington expects South Africa to extradite former Mozambican finance minister Manuel Chang to the US to face charges in a massive corruption case. South African authorities arrested him at OR Tambo International Airport in December on an Interpol arrest warrant requested by the US.

While Chang has been in a South African jail, the Mozambique government has also asked Pretoria to extradite him to Mozambique to face charges relating to the fishing boat scam. Nyusi was defence minister when the fishing deals were signed and the civil society activists say he must have approved them as they were defence-related.

However, it seems likely that in the end the decision will be taken by the government, not the courts, unless they find overwhelming reasons not to extradite him to either country.

PFabric Not just the US. Ordinary Venezuelans that are left to starve to death by the evil regime that governs their country, too. But you see ANC no longer cares for human rights (the very reason it was established for) but for corruption so they naturally support it everywhere.

PFabric The US should stop all handouts to SA PresidencyZA - and add a couple of sanctions just to push our economy over the edge. Maybe then we'll wake up, after the civil war that is

PFabric We are not part of the American stabilization and regime change brigade.
