South Africa can expect challenges to legislation that would limit foreign ownership of private security companies, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies said, days after the U.S. warned the bill may affect the country’s inclusion in a preferential trade agreement.
“The law is sitting with the president,” Davies said in Johannesburg on Friday. “We do think that we must expect there will be a challenge if the bill goes through in its current form.”
