South African Ambassador Expelled by U.S. Receives Hero’s Welcome at Home

The South African ambassador, recently expelled from the United States, returned to a hero's welcome in South Africa. The expulsion, ordered by the U.S. government, was a response to accusations of espionage, which the ambassador and the South African government vehemently denied.

Upon arrival, the ambassador was greeted by a large crowd of supporters, waving flags and chanting slogans of solidarity. The welcoming ceremony included speeches from high-ranking South African officials who praised the ambassador's service and criticized the U.S. for what they described as a politically motivated decision.

The incident has strained diplomatic relations between the two countries, with South Africa summoning the U.S. ambassador to express their dissatisfaction. The U.S. has not yet responded publicly to the South African government's reaction, but the situation remains tense as both nations navigate the fallout from this diplomatic row.
