Diplomatic clash as US envoy faces demarche over anti-apartheid chant
South Africa summoned the new US ambassador, Leo Bozell III, after he called the anti-apartheid chant 'Kill The Boer' undiplomatic and questioned a court ruling; he later apologized and expressed willingness to work constructively. The SA government issued a demarche, signaling diplomatic friction as US–South Africa ties face broader tensions over trade and policy.
