South Africa’s expelled Ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, has been given 72 hours to leave the US.
Chrispin Phiri, spokesperson for International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola, confirmed to News24 that Pretoria was making arrangements for his return.
Once in South Africa, he will be expected to debrief Pretoria.
“And then, from there, Pretoria will assess what are the next steps that need to be done and attend to it.”
He said Pretoria had received official confirmation from the SA mission in the US late on Friday night that Rasool had been expelled.
