US EXPELS SOUTH AFRICA'S AMBASSADOR FOR 'RACE-BAITING' TRUMP HATER

The United States has expelled South Africa’s ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, after he was accused of ‘race-baiting’ a hater of President Donald Trump.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the South African envoy is a "race-baiting politician" who hates President Trump.

Rubio said in a post on X.com that "South Africa's Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country.” He has been ordered to depart the US by Friday, March 21.

A statement from the office of the President of South Africa described the action against Ambassador Rasool as regrettable.

The Presidency and the international relations department said that South Africa remained committed to building mutually beneficial relations and would address the matter through diplomatic channels.
