JOHANNESBURG - Former Deputy Finance Minister, Mcebisi Jonas, is 'the right man for the US envoy job'.
That's why President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed him to Washington, DC. Jonas is expected to put out diplomatic fires raging between the US and South Africa.
Ramaphosa had spent weeks preparing and carefully selecting the right people to send to the world, including the United States, to clear the air.
South Africa's relationship with the US is at its worst following the expulsion of its ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool, in March.
During an address at the WEF president Cyril Ramaphosa said through South Africa’s G20 presidency the country will demonstrate its unwavering commitment to global solidarity, equality and sustainability.
Different organisations and experts have expressed their feelings and thoughts on Ramaphosa's decision to send Jonas to the US.
