It’s a day that started with Vice President Kamala Harris, a conversation with the Congressional Black Caucus at an event that the South African embassy had hosted and then the key meeting of the day with President Joe Biden at the White House.
“We’ve ended up with two great democracies and a lot to do. We could become you personally and your country is such a critical part of what happened in this country of 100 million people. A billion people. We really need to make sure we fully understand one another. Our partnerships are essential in addressing the management of the world’s pressing challenges. South Africa is a vital voice on a global stage and a leader in the international order. We have a lot to talk about what’s happening.
A lot they talked about from expanding the business-to-business relationship, including the need for an extension of the African Growth and Opportunities Act, which is due to expire in 2025, theinfrastructure support, COVID-19 including support for the WTO Trips waivers on diagnostics and therapeutics, food insecurity in Africa, Africa’s greater representation in multilateral fora including a seat for the African Union in the G20 and the lifting of U.S.
“We also raised the issue of sanctions against Zimbabwe and argued that the sanctions that are imposed on Zimbabwe have collateral damage on us as South Africa in that as they implement those sanctions against Zimbabwe, it weakens the Zimbabwean economy resulting in Zimbabweans leaving in droves, leaving Zimbabwe in droves, going to neighboring countries South Africa, Botswana and Namibia.
“We raised this concern that if that bill were to go through, it would marginalize Africa because it would seem like Africa would now be punished for having partners, a partner like Russia.
