South Africa cuts off trade with the US?

Is this true? I’ve only seen it in one news source, the Maravi Post, a news outlet in Malawi, not South Africa.

Paging @MrDibble and @scudsucker

I sure hope so. And the rest of the civilized world should do the same

I can think of at least one South African export we’d be better off without.

Heard absolutely nothing about this.

My bullshit meter is going off.

This is current news by a reputable South African source:

I linked an article in (I think) The BBQ Pit; but as I said there, I could only find a single source.

A Facebook friend posted about it as breaking news 12 hours ago, but I couldn’t find a source.

Same bullshit source as the OP.

I mean, our government doesn’t actually have the power to do anything like what the article suggests.

It seems to be an exaggeration and expansion of an empty threat or call to action our minerals minister made recently, not actual government action.
