 US envoy to South Africa resigns in wake of Trump win


The US Ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigety announced on Monday he will resign effective January 10, 2025, in line with procedure after change in presidential administration, Anadolu Agency reported.


Brigety's resignation came barely a week after the US's envoy to Kenya Meg Whitman also handed in her resignation in the wake of President Donald Trump's election victory.


"Today, I informed the Government of South Africa that I will resign as the US Ambassador to South Africa effective January 10, 2025, in accordance with standard procedure during a change of presidential administration. Serving in this role and fostering the strong relationship between the United States and South Africa has been an immense honour," Brigety said in a statement.


He said US ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president, and with the recent election in the US, the American people have expressed their choice for the future direction of the country.


Reflecting on his tenure, Brigety said the US and South Africa witnessed "remarkable progress" in partnership.


"On trade, we have supported South African businesses in accessing the US market through AGOA (The African Growth and Opportunity Act) and fostered investments in the automotive, minerals, chemicals, agricultural products, and transportation sectors," he said.


The ambassador said these initiatives have contributed significantly to the country's economic development and support more than 267,000 jobs in South Africa.
