The Washington Post published on 8 August 2022 an article titled "In Africa, Blinken Seeks To Beguile, Not Browbeat, Over Russia" by Missy Ryan.
The article reflects the lukewarm reaction in South Africa to the Biden administration's new Africa strategy announced on 8 August at the University of Pretoria.
Comment: US relations with South Africa have been strained for many years. It is surprising the South African reaction was not harsher than reported.
