What happened

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Wednesday receive the credentials of US ambassador to South Africa Leo Brent Bozell III.

Why it matters

Common ground

Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been tense in recent years over foreign policy disagreements and perceived anti-white discrimination in South Africa.
