💨 Abstract

The new U.S. ambassador to South Africa, Brent Bozell III, sparked political backlash after criticizing South Africa's response to Iran's supreme leader's death. Bozell warned of strained relations due to South Africa's condolences to Iran. The ANC's Fikile Mbalula rejected the criticism, asserting South Africa's independent foreign policy. The EFF called for Bozell's expulsion, accusing him of interference.
