ANC condemns US government for interfering in South Africa's affairs, criticises AfriForum for causing division

The African National Congress (ANC) has criticized the United States government for what it perceives as interference in South Africa's internal affairs, particularly in relation to the US's stance on South Africa's foreign policy and its relationship with Russia. The ANC's statement comes in response to comments made by the US Ambassador to South Africa, Reuben Brigety, who suggested that South Africa was supplying arms to Russia, a claim South Africa has denied. Additionally, the ANC has accused AfriForum, a South African civil rights organization, of exacerbating racial divisions within the country by promoting policies and actions that align with what the ANC describes as "white monopoly capital." The ANC's criticism extends to AfriForum's legal actions against the government, which they believe are aimed at undermining the transformation efforts post-apartheid. The ANC emphasized its commitment to non-alignment and sovereignty, urging the US to respect South Africa's right to conduct its foreign relations independently.
