Former South African Minister of International Relations, Naledi Pandor, has had her US visa revoked, sparking controversy and disappointment. Pandor, who served as Minister from 2019 to 2024, was informed of the decision via an email from the US Consulate, with no reason provided.
Pandor's visa revocation comes amid strained relations between the US and South Africa, particularly after President Donald Trump's administration criticized South Africa's land expropriation policies. Pandor had been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and led South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
The move has raised concerns about the US's intentions and its impact on diplomatic relations between the two countries. Pandor's leadership and advocacy have been recognized globally, and her visa revocation has been seen as a setback for international cooperation and diplomacy.
