US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said during her visit to parts of Africa last week that she had raised the issue of economic sanctions against Russia in every country.
Experts warn that South Africa’s friendly relationship with Russia, while major powers tighten sanctions against that country in an attempt to get it to withdraw its troops from Ukraine, poses an economic threat to this country.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

Nice try
Fake news.
USA ya nyela.
Mmmmm I think you support of westerners and
Madness....
I wonder why shame..
SA can’t be beholden to one party or side in this war which is not even about her. SA can’t be and shouldn’t be blackmailed into a proxy ethnic war. We refuse. The truth hurts that SA has a mind of its own on such matters guided by AU. SA chairs BRICS.
Only for the dollar $. It's time to move away, and we all know it will be hard in the beginning. But once we start with goldback currency. Things will change. Once we no longer depend on the USA, we can move away from that dictator ship and have free trade instated.
Why because the American say so.
Russia ✊✊✊✊

Propaganda machine

Okay, spit out. Who paid y'all?🙄🤔
Nowhere ever had the West cared about the economic standing of blacks. When ever one hears or reads of economic concern from them, it's for their gain. Never decolonization or a United States of Africa as those would set out Africans in the forefront of economic advantage...
This why we suffering because our government is told by the US & England what they must do & what not to do
City_Press Experts on what exactly? Sanctions?
City_Press I don't care who says what. I'm I will always support the USA and their decisions
City_Press No shit
City_Press dont be dictated to by the eu corruption pure and so 2 face eish
City_Press kak
City_Press The ANC will sacrifice us for this worthless alliance.
City_Press We could really use those sanctions against us now. It may be tough at the beginning but in due time we will make it and we will built immunity against sanctions. What does not kill us will make us stronger
City_Press We are not getting involved in European Wars
City_Press SA is siding with Russia who invaded another sovereign state Russia are guilty of war crimes and gross human rights violations against the people of Ukraine. Russia are guilty of deliberately targeting civilians in Ukraine. How could we at any time try to justify these misdeeds
City_Press Sleeping with commies never ends well.
City_Press Are the sanctions working 😅😅
City_Press This a threat from US It's all they seem to do if things don't go their way...... Screw em!!! ScrewTheUSA
City_Press The economic threat to SA is apartheid perpetrators who roam free & still exploiting this economy same way as under apartheid. In every society where crime against humanity took place, perpetrators have rot in jail. In SA these scavagers are roaming free. That's SA threat.
City_Press You can't dictate to us rush is us we stand with Russians .full stop .
City_Press It's the age old debate isn't it. Where economic interest clash with security interests. America will inevitably point their economic barrel at us for our Russian links. We could point the history barrel with their Apartheid NP links. It's not like we've uncovered the mass graves
City_Press I can't stand the ANC but for once I agree with them. US wants to enslave Africa through debt default anyway .
City_Press These 'experts' are from the countries that colonised Africa then they can go to hell👹. Evil humans😠🤬 they are threatening South African people. The economy they speak of has never fundamentally benefited any African, except the sell outs like AnC criminals & handlers.
City_Press What are the major power going to do? Stop the supply of electricity? 😂
City_Press Wat if South africa is sanctioned by EU and others,are those that are saying South Africa is a Russian ally are going to feel those sanctions or the innocent civilians are going to suffer like Zimbabwe
City_Press This is not a war between west and east, then you want to make Our country a battlefield? Leave us, we stand as one and do not chose sides.
City_Press It's always 'Experts' and I guess it's the paid ones
City_Press Very predictable did not take long for the 'experts' platformed by the pro-Western corporate media (including Naspers) start attacking the ANC government for good relations with Russia and BRICS.
City_Press SA wants to side with Russia on the one hand and beg western tourists to come here on the other. Even go to the extreme of supporting a football club in the UK. They still want to get financial aid from the west.
TonyBeamish City_Press Name these experts please.
City_Press africa stands with russia, only pple who invaded africa are anti russia
City_Press 'Experts' when will your tweeting interns learn that term is about as credible as a Milli Vanilli greatest hits album?
City_Press That's an intimidation... Russia is a South African ally we have deep history.
City_Press Don’t give a fk what happens to this dump.
City_Press Russia is their enemy not ours
City_Press SA government doesn't have competent people. They wouldn't see danger even if it slapped them on the face
City_Press In the SA GovernmentZA you are talking about diplomatic, constitutional and existential delinquents. You are talking about people out of tune with the modern era, devolved minds belonging to a prehistoric era.
City_Press Let America and other European countries Stop giving Ukraine weapons and Negotiate with Putin cause Russia🇷🇺 already Won that War !!!!
City_Press The real economic threat to this country is the Eskom board.
