U.S. TreasurySecretary Janet Yellen announced a joint initiative with South Africa to combat wildlife trafficking, money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities in both countries.

Yellen began her visit to South Africa by touring the Dinokeng Game Reserve near Pretoria, where she said the United States and South Africa would form a task force to focus on the financing of wildlife trafficking. Yellen started her 10-day trip in Senegal before travelling to Zambia and then arriving in South Africa.
