Mcebisi Jonas Named Special Envoy To Us

President Cyril Ramaphosa has named former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas as his special envoy to Washington amid a diplomatic freeze with the Trump administration and fast evolving international trade war.

Jonass brief will be to advance trade ties with the United States, the presidency said as it announced the appointment on Monday, less than a week after President Donald Trump announced a 30 tariff on South African imports, then suspended the decision for 90 days.
