South Africa’s ambassador to the US has arrived home after being expelled by the Trump Administration.
Ebrahim Rasool was welcomed at the Cape Town airport by crowds of cheering supporters. Rasool was ordered to leave the US after Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused him of being a “race-baiting politician who hates America” and Trump. The veteran anti-Apartheid activist had said Trump’s political movement was white supremacist in nature.

A lot of people who have nothing better to do than spend useful time in an airport…
8% of white Afrikana like Musk owns 92% of south African lands they occupied during colonialism and apartheid.
The ANC will never mention the uyghur genocide in China but go after the crimes of the countries giving them foreign aid is just a different level of dum.
Goodbye! USA don’t need that guy here. And bye bye USAID funds to South Africa 😂😂😂
He is not South African origin. Every Islam believer sympathise with Palestine everywhere.
Change another one.
My apologies to the SA ambassador for the treatment he received by the insane USA government.
As an American, I admire Ambassador Rasool for being brave enough to stand up for democracy against tyranny/bigotry.
The natural evolution of populists like Trump ends in fascism and Tyranny.
Well i like people who have the chuzpe to talk truth to power. In that aspect that ambassador has more grit than all those MAGA fascists combined.
Greatings from Europe
He's not wrong.
If he truly understood his role as a diplomat, he would prioritize his duty and responsibilities over his ego and political ambitions.
Why is South Africa committing genocide against White South Africans? Maybe DW should send some reporters down to SA and interview White South Africans and hear what they have to say?
US punish SA to raise voice against genocide in Palastine. SA is brave nation, speaks truth against Might.
What a disgrace you’ve managed to damage relations between both countries from start to finish
They expelled the wrong south african
Has South Africa been accepting funds from America? If so, it is time with all the gold etc. that SA has, to stand on it's own feet and use it's own resources at home for the benefit of it's own people, many of whom are still living in squalor conditions. As for Mr. Malema, it doesn't help the image of South Africa to keep going with "Kill the famer kill the Boer!"…..We all wish South Africa well. Mrs. Rosa Larsen
How can you have a good relationship when the other thinks you are white supremacy, USA best country on earth
Mayibuye

In the land of the free no one is allowed to say tru…p and his maga crowd are rac…sts!! Good on SA!

He dis respected his host
What US doing too Afrika stilling minerals and people in Africa work for $2 a day and they so rich with minerals they can be rich country
He did not behave like a diplomat should nothing more or nothing less.
Keep your "heroes" home.
South Africa is making a lot of noice in the recent years, just like the radical left
I know nothing about South Africa and or their politics other than Mandela a little bit. But it was a terrible example of justice from a President that embraces Putin and has a criminal record
America government are fool sent millions of dollars to countries who even don’t like them
The problem is that the ANC is just As bad at politics as Trump.
Listen U.S.A did what they see good for their own.
What are you going on about.if they dont like whats happening in S.A they dont.thats it….
The ANC’s foreign policy is based on the premise of who can we as the ANC get money from? The US used to give to South Africa not to the ANC. That is where the problem is
