South Africa Appoints Roelf Meyer as Ambassador to the US Amid Diplomatic Strains

South Africa has appointed Roelf Meyer, a former apartheid-era negotiator, as its new ambassador to the United States. This appointment comes after the expulsion of the previous ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, in March 2025, following his criticism of the Trump administration. Meyer's appointment is seen as an effort to mend the strained diplomatic relations between South Africa and the US. Meyer, who played a significant role in the negotiations that ended apartheid, is expected to leverage his experience to improve bilateral ties. The appointment is part of a broader strategy to address accusations from the US regarding racial discrimination against white Afrikaners in South Africa.
