Rubio announces new visa restrictions targeting South African officials for ‘race-based discrimination’
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals in South Africa involved in alleged "race-based discrimination" and "uncompensated land seizures."

- Rubio stated these actions "directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law," urging South Africa to address legislation and threats of land expropriation.
- CNN has investigated claims of White "genocide" in South Africa and found no evidence, while President Cyril Ramaphosa denied the government supports racial violence or discriminatory rhetoric.
