South Africa announced it will replace former ambassador to the United States Ebrahim Rasool with a special envoy, Mcebisi Jonas, who has a background as deputy finance minister.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio expelled Rasool weeks ago and gave him “persona non grata” status. It is a rare occurrence in U.S. history to expel such a high-ranking diplomat.
