  • Former DA leader Tony Leon and ANC MP Lindiwe Sisulu are in the spotlight as potential candidates for South Africa's next ambassador to the US, following the expulsion of Ebrahim Rasool.

The article from MSN discusses the potential appointment of either Tony Leon or Lindiwe Sisulu as South Africa's ambassador to the United States. Tony Leon, a former leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA), and Lindiwe Sisulu, a prominent ANC member and former Minister of Tourism, are both being considered for this diplomatic role. The decision comes at a time when South Africa aims to strengthen its relationship with the US, amidst various international and economic considerations. Leon's experience in opposition politics and his understanding of Western democracies could be beneficial, while Sisulu's long-standing involvement in South African politics and her international exposure might also serve the country well in this ambassadorial position. The choice reflects the ANC's strategy to possibly leverage political experience and international relations expertise to enhance South Africa's diplomatic ties with the US.
