Dec 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department on Thursday condemned the recent detention of U.S. officials in South Africa, who it said were providing support to Afrikaners.
“Furthermore, the public release of our U.S. officials’ passport information is an unacceptable form of harassment,” the State Department said in a statement.
“We call on the Government of South Africa to take immediate action to bring this situation under control and hold those responsible accountable,” it said.
