OFENTSE DAVHIE | Ronald Lamola is worsening relations with Washington (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The department of international relations & co-operation has twice this year formally summoned US ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III. On March 11 and again on September 29 he was issued a démarche, a formal protest delivered in person. Two such protests in seven months signal a hardening relationship that the minister responsible for South Africa’s side is deepening rather than containing.

Anti-migrant marches that shut down city centres, closed shops nationwide and sent tens of thousands of migrants towards the borders before a self-declared June 30 deadline.
