South Africa's former US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool has returned home after being expelled from the United States and declared persona non grata by the Trump administration. He was given a hero's welcome upon his return in Cape Town. The expulsions came amid controversy over his role as South Africa's Special Envoy for International Cooperation, which some have accused of promoting Chinese interests.
