The African National Congress (ANC) and its alliance partners have vowed to march against what it calls, ‘US imperialist aggression’ and its isolation of South Africa.

This follows a decision by the United States of America to bar Pretoria from attending the G20 Leaders’ Summit planned for December in America.

The party also decried the US arrest of the Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his wife.

Briefing the media in Johannesburg on Thursday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said they will be marching against the US aggression and its determination to undermine multilateralism.

“We are marching in defence of our sovereignty which is under attack. We are marching against imperialist aggression which seeks to dictate to what must happen to other states. We are marching the undermining of multilateral fora in the form of UN and creating Peace Boards led by the Donald Trump administration and the US. We, ourselves have been targeted that we are conducting a genocide against white people. We have been decent explaining ourselves but America has intensified the isolation of our country.”
