# The South African Friends of Israel has warned that Iran’s growing influence on ANC foreign policy poses risks of state capture and massive job losses. Spokesperson Bafana Modise compared the situation to the Guptas, saying foreign policy is being hijacked at the expense of ordinary South Africans. Modise cautions that South Africa could lose key trade benefits like the African Growth and Opportunity Act, endangering up to 100-thousand jobs in agriculture and automotive industries. He urges the government to prioritise domestic stability and global credibility.
