What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "U.S.-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025," requires a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between the United States and South Africa. It mandates that the President conduct a full review of this bilateral relationship in consultation with various federal agencies. Additionally, the President must determine if South Africa has engaged in activities that undermine U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. The legislation also directs the creation of a report identifying specific South African government officials and ANC leaders who may be eligible for sanctions due to corruption or human rights abuses. These findings and certifications are to be submitted to the appropriate congressional committees.
