US-South Africa relations are at a low, complicated by diplomatic tensions. Donald Trump’s newly appointed ambassador, Leo Brent Bozell III, arrived in Pretoria on February 16. He founded the Media Research Center and has expressed both support for Nelson Mandela and criticism of South Africa’s previous engagement with the ANC during the Cold War. Bozell is awaiting formal credentials from President Cyril Ramaphosa amid ongoing issues such as trade disputes and a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. He aims to challenge South Africa’s ties with China, Russia, and Iran, potentially shaping future US-South Africa relations.

LOOK AT US ITS A FUP
South African government should not welcome him in the country.
He is a mostly like a even more racist than Trump.
Great job, South Africa, Hold your ground!!!!!
Trump got jealous after South Africa signed trade deal with China
The US needs Africa more than Africa needs the US. The US is currently irrelevant in the world and no one cares about what the US does
Another Aryan arrogant ass with a another white supremacy apartheid justification agenda
That's incorrect because the USA/RSA BRICS one body coalition is finally moving forward
He came to tell us🇿🇦 what to do with Israel 😮
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Excellent, about time these incompetent ANC pick and shovel specialists get put in their place
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So he came all this way to highlight rwabish… He must go back the way he came we don't need that clwn send by a clwn here… USA can go to hwell
The problem is America's enemies are not our enemies, It's like be told who to love and who to not love. When you stand on business you will not be easily manipulated nor intimidated.
They are always sending envoys where as africa doesn't… that shows they need us 😂😂😂😂
That illiterate failed to answer questions of the panel for his job. I don't how he was appointed to be an ambassador. However he must be ready for the headache he's about to endure
FOKOFF USA!!!
An anti-American position should mean that Brozell should not unpack his bags and leave.
he will fokof soon when he came with white tendency we do need America anymore . he is not welcome here like before, they think its about America. America ambassador would feel unwelcome , we don't trust United States of snakes .
Trump must go,America must fall
Voetsek America 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
This bra thinks its the good ol colonial times where the white guy says jump and the locals respond with " Ja baas" Miniete for him 😮
Without SA platinum group their Car industry will suffer severely 😂
An American Ambassador will not force South Africa to trade with the United States further instructs South African government as to how much to trade with America , the decision for that lies with the South African government further the diplomatic relations between South Africa and the United States are flattered moreover the American appointment of Ambassador to South Africa is just based on flattering nothing else . South Africa will not be made to drop the ICJ Case against Israel in any manner by any country , the speech that is made by American Ambassador will result into grandiloquent malapropism when assuming his duties as an ambassador . America made itself to be isolated in the world regarding trade and no country can help her because if any country assists America , America will drain that particular country for the American survival but not for the interest of that particular State .
Bozell can press all he wants; we are not dropping the Iaral case. Who the hell does he think he is to think is can come dictate or change a sovereign country's internal policies? The arrogance and delusion!
I am so looking forward to see HOW EXACTLY, will this Bozel guy 'Press' SA🤔
You Nonses Ambassador you are not welcome here dont test us blacks of RSA you don't buy evil its up to you 400hundred years of oppression the anger we have you wants to see it bring it on we are Brics know get that in your scull😊
No US bullies will be tolerated in South Africa.
WE dont want Imperialists here, they Can Go back. No More.
USA doesn’t grasp that South Africa is a sovereign state. We are not their subjects. We do not take instructions from anyone. I hope Bozell hasn’t unpacked his bags and he gets sent home. We will not be told what to do by arrogant foreign leaders.
Our intention is not to send any ambassador to the US. We are waiting for that Bozelli to take up his post. I guarantee you, he is not going to last!
The bully's puppy will be expelled so quick before he unpacks his luggage
South-Africa does NOT need The US Trade, and they know it, but true to form they choose to ignore this and bluff their way into South-Africa. The message here is simple, the US does not like to lose out of, what they considered and believed a done deal. The communist rhetoric is a load of b….sht. As for Israel, they can go to the hot place. South-Africa trades with China, and that's enough for now. This Bozell character should temper his tone, otherwise he'll also be out on his backside.
Usa must get rid of ANC goverment and get rid of black racists so we all can continue with the ranbfow nation and live in peace
THE USA AND ISRAEL ARE PERSONA NON GRATA IN SOUTH AFRICA. THEY MUST LEAVE MY COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY
Rather south Africa than Gestapo ✊ America
Capture on of its military institutions and open a usa military base in south.africa . . 😂🎉❤😊
