# US ambassador to South Africa Leo Brent Bozell is calling on government to put its ideological posturing aside and put citizens first. The US has imposed new visa restrictions targeting South Africans linked to policies it considers discriminatory. In an opinion piece for Daily Maverick, Bozell says government’s refusal to condemn the incitement of violence against a targeted community is wrong, and the refusal to loosen ownership rules is stunningly shortsighted. He says the US eagerly hopes government will rethink this hostility.
