JOHANNESBURG – African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General Ace Magashule said he hopes US President-elect Joe Biden will respect the independence of other countries and lift sanctions against Zimbabwe.

Magashule spoke on the sidelines of an ANC election campaign in Johannesburg’s West Rand ahead of Wednesday’s by-elections.

He said the United States should not dictate how other countries handle their affairs.

“They also have to understand that they can’t tell the world what to do.”

There is hope that Biden will adopt policies that reestablish ties with the African continent and the rest of the world.

Experts say Donald Trump ignored Africa for much of his term, occasionally criticizing its leaders.
