South Africa and the US: A New Low in Relations (Ray Hartley, Greg Mills – RUSI)

There has seldom been as ill-considered a rant as that placed on record by the South African Ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool at an online dialogue organised by an African National Congress (ANC) think tank. During a feverish ‘analysis’ of the US, Rasool managed to insult by name the US President, Donald Trump, his strongest ally, Elon Musk and the Vice President, JD Vance. In one fell swoop he has placed himself (now persona non grata in the US) and his country in jeopardy. But Rasool has not done so alone.
