The four demands from the United States for South Africa to normalize bilateral relations, as reported in June 2025, are:

1. Classify Farm Attacks as a Priority Crime: The U.S. insists that farm attacks be treated as a priority crime, similar to rhino poaching or cash-in-transit heists, with investigations handled by the Hawks, South Africa’s elite crime-fighting unit. This stems from concerns over the 23 white and nine black lives lost in farm attacks in the past year, according to the Transvaal Agricultural Union.

2. Condemn the “Kill the Boer” Chant: The U.S. demands that the African National Congress (ANC) issue a clear and unequivocal public condemnation of the “Kill the Boer” chant, regardless of its context, due to concerns that it incites violence against farmers. This issue gained attention after former U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted clips of EFF leader Julius Malema chanting it.

3. Ensure Fair Compensation for Land Expropriation: The U.S. requires that no land expropriation occur without fair market compensation and only after all legal processes are exhausted, addressing concerns over South Africa’s Expropriation Act signed into law in January 2025.

4. Exempt U.S. Entities from Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Requirements: The U.S. seeks exemptions for its companies from BEE policies, viewed as potential non-tariff trade barriers, despite their role in redressing apartheid-era economic imbalances.

These demands were communicated during a high-level meeting on June 25, 2025, in Washington, DC, with an Afrikaner delegation including Freedom Front Plus leader Dr. Corné Mulder, Southern African Agri Initiative chairman Dr. Theo de Jager, and National Employers’ Association of South Africa CEO Gerhard Papenfus. The delegation committed to relaying these conditions to the South African government to foster transparency and strengthen ties.

Another set of demands, mentioned earlier in March 2025 on X, includes:

1. Abandon cases against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC).
2. Stop a potential visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to South Africa.
3. End ties with Iran.
4. Address relationships with China and Russia.

These were shared in the context of geopolitical tensions but are less detailed and not as widely corroborated as the June demands.

The June 2025 demands are more specific and widely reported across sources, focusing on domestic South African policies, while the March demands reflect broader foreign policy concerns. Given the prominence and detail in the June reports, they are likely the primary conditions referred to in recent discussions.
