# International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola is in Washington for a series of diplomatic engagements following new US visa restrictions targeting certain South Africans. Lamola will attend a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation event and hold meetings with members of Congress before travelling to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. South Africa has rejected the US allegations behind the restrictions, saying they misrepresent its domestic policies. Lamola is also expected to share a stage with US Senator Bernie Sanders at an event in New York.
