An article from February 3 https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/minerals/?hilite=minerals by the country’s public broadcaster, quotes the Minister of Minerals and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, saying South Africa’s minerals should be withheld from US, but I’ve seen no reports that it actually will be.
I also couldn’t find anything at the government’s website https://www.gov.za/, nor via DDG at Reuters or AP.
I haven’t seen any reliable sources say this yet.
