# The ANC has welcomed the appointment of Roelf Meyer as South Africa’s ambassador to the US, saying the decision reflects a masterstroke strategic deployment. His appointment follows the expulsion of former ambassador Ebrahim Rasool, who was declared persona non grata in 2025 after the remarks he made during a webinar on US politics. The ANC says Meyer’s appointment comes at an important moment in the evolving relationship between South Africa and the US. It adds that Meyer will represent the country with distinction and integrity.
