Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared South African Ambassador to Washington Ebrahim Rasool persona non grata, calling him "a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates the US president."

South Africa is determined to continue building mutually beneficial relations with the US despite the expulsion of its ambassador from Washington, the South African presidency said.

"The presidency has noted the regrettable expulsion of South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States of America, Mr. Ebrahim Rasool," the South African presidency said. "The presidency urges all relevant and impacted stakeholders to maintain the established diplomatic decorum in their engagement with the matter."
