JOHANNESBURG – Dozens of people line up in line most mornings waiting for reservations outside the US consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa.
On a cold winter morning in South Africa, CBS News discovered that they were worried about going to the arrival gates at US airports or worrying about what will happen during their visit.
president Trump's announcement on Wednesday, a looming travel ban For all citizens from 12 countries in Africa and the Middle East, despite tense relations between the American leader and the country, even South Africa was not included. But the anxiety caused by the return of Blanket's travel restrictions — something Trump did during his first term — was almost evident in Johannesburg.
One person said they were planning to travel for the work meeting, but they wondered if it was a good idea.
The other is tentatively planning to travel for non-essential reasons and worry that it might be better to use the last name Assad to skip the planned trip completely.
“Are I at the risk of being rounded up and sent to another country, or even running to prison?” they asked. “The risk is simply too high.”
No one on the line gave CBS News their full name – out of fear, most people probably about public comments that result in denial of their visa request.
What African countries are facing Trump's travel ban?
Following Trump's announcement, citizens of seven African countries have faced a ban on travel to the United States since June 9th. Chad, Somalia, Sudan, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya.
These three countries – Sudan, Somalia and Libya Travel ban during Trump's first term In January 2017, restrictions in Sudan were later dropped, and restrictions on Somalia and Libya were eased.
Many of the 12 countries on the new list are broken by oppressive regimes and are plagued by conflict.
“We don't want them,” Trump said on Wednesday that he announced the ban.
He cited the risks ranging from terrorism to those staying on visas, stressing that the US “cannot make open migration from countries where we cannot safely and reliably examine and can't select people who are seeking entry.”
Somalia was cited by the president as a “safe shelter for terrorists,” but Libya said it had “historic terrorist presence.”
“recently Terrorist attacks at BoulderColorado highlighted the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreigners that were not properly examined.
Critics pointed out that the man had indicted the attack, Mohamed Sabrie Solimanan Egyptian citizen, Egypt is not included in the travel ban list released by Trump on Wednesday.
Somalia quickly responded to the declaration of the American leadership, saying, along with the country's US ambassador, Dahil Hassan Abdi, “Somalia places importance on its long-standing relationship with the United States and is ready to engage in dialogue to address the concerns raised.”
In his remarks, Trump said, “The United States must be on alert during the visa issuance process.”
The African Union issued a statement Thursday calling for the United States to adopt a more “consultative approach” with the countries Trump nominated, adding that it is concerned about “the potential negative impact on people-to-people bonds, education exchange, commercial engagement and wider diplomatic relations that have been carefully nurtured over decades.”
It has been difficult and troublesome for many African countries to obtain a visa to travel to the US for a long time.
But Trump's announcement comes days after a second group of South African African “refugees” who remained in commercial flights detained by the US under a program announced by the White House in February. Suspend other refugee programs.
President Trump repeated False claims that white genocide is happening In South Africa, African farmers claim to be victims of systematic, racially motivated violence.
In January, South Africa adopted the Land Expropriation Bill, allowing the state to acquire land ownership and address racial disparities in ownership. To date, despite allegations by right-wing activists across the country and by some prominent supporters outside of South Africa, no land has been expropriated without South Africa's compensation. Elon Musk – on the contrary.
Shortly after the bill was passed, in a briefing with journalists, Trump accused the South African government of “doing something frightening and horrifying,” and in a social media post he said he would “cut off all funds to South Africa until a full investigation into this situation is complete.”
As relations between the two countries deteriorated, President Cyril Ramaphosa traveled to Washington late last month and took out new measures to repair the ties. However, President Trump ambushed him in an oval office by rolling a news camera on a video he claimed as evidence of the so-called white genocide.

The video included clips of the South African opposition figure who had rebuttal. Julius Malema sings a song that became popular during the anti-apartheid struggle, known as “Kill the Boer,” meaning afacanah.
Ramaphosa watched the video and then admitted to Trump that South Africa definitely had the problem of violent crime, but before he admitted that only a small number of white farmers were targeted, he pointed out to Trump that it was not a government policy.
Ramaphosa's two-hour meeting with President Trump was largely seen as productive from a South African perspective. Ramaphosa wanted to leave the White House with assurance from Trump that he would attend the G20 summit in South Africa in November. He didn't get it, but the US leader said he was considering it.
The US Embassy in South Africa later issued a statement updating it, stating that in order to qualify for US resettlement, he must be a member of an African ethnicity or a racial minority in South Africa and be able to clarify his past experiences of persecution or persecution.
There is already a sense of confusion and sadness across Africa over the relentless aid and trade cuts brought about by the Trump administration, and travel bans only exacerbated that feeling.
“Maybe Americans don't like us anymore,” he suggested a woman in a queue outside the US consulate on Thursday.
