South African President Cyril Ramaphosa accepted new US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell’s credentials, a month after the diplomat was issued with a formal reprimand for criticizing the government and questioning a domestic court ruling.
Bozell and envoys from 19 other nations, including Cuba, Lebanon, Zimbabwe and Ukraine, were formally accredited at a ceremony in Pretoria, the capital, on Wednesday, enabling them to fully assume their duties.
