Visa bans proposed by the US on the South African government have been turned down, according to the South Africans, since they result from misconceptions that have been fostered by radical organizations. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made the visa bans on people involved in racial discrimination and confiscation of land without compensation to the owners and violence against the white Afrikaners because of lobbying by the Afrikaner organizations and actions taken by the US government including asylum to the Afrikaners and freeze on foreign aid.
