The South African government has summoned the US ambassador, Brent Bozell, to explain his undiplomatic conduct for the third time since he arrived nine months ago. A senior foreign ministry official said Bozell was called in on Tuesday, the day he published an opinion piece accusing the government of hostility, following a series of critical interviews with local media. The official said it was the third demarche since he started his duties, calling it a record. The two countries have clashed over issues including South Africa's genocide case against Israel and President Donald Trump's claims that white Afrikaners are being persecuted.
