Summary

Trump nominated conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III as ambassador to South Africa, sparking controversy due to Bozell’s past opposition to the anti-apartheid African National Congress (ANC).

In 1987, Bozell’s group joined a coalition against ANC “terrorism,” opposing militant resistance to apartheid and discouraging diplomatic meetings with ANC leader Oliver Tambo.

Bozell also criticized Nelson Mandela, calling coverage of his legacy overly positive.

The nomination comes amid strained US-South Africa relations, with Trump recently halting aid over alleged mistreatment of the white minority.
