This act mandates a comprehensive review of the relationship between the United States and South Africa.

Key points
The US President will review relations with South Africa, assessing if South Africa's actions harm US interests.
Potential sanctions against senior South African government officials and ANC leaders for corruption or human rights abuses.
South Africa may lose trade preferences, which could impact import/export costs and, consequently, goods prices.
