S’thembile Cele, a South Africa government reporter, and Neil Munshi, Bloomberg’s Middle East and Africa editor, discuss U.S. fixation on Nigeria and South Africa. They trace how political and evangelical narratives pushed claims of persecution. They examine how both countries respond diplomatically, the role of U.S. domestic politics, and security and trade tensions shaping relations.
