The confirmation of Leo Brent Bozell III as the new Ambassador of the United States to South Africa means that elevated tension between the two countries is inevitable. In this case, South Africa is likely to come off second best, with the country needing to shift the relationship away from political disagreements towards trade, investment and deeper diplomatic ties. This is feedback from the Centre for Risk Analysis’ (CRA) Ofentse Donald Davhie, who outlined the potential impacts of Bozell’s appointment as Ambassador to South Africa.
