Ebrahim Rasool, the South African ambassador who was expelled from the United States in a row with President Donald Trump's government arrives in Cape Town to a raucous welcome. Ties between Washington and Pretoria have slumped since Trump cut financial aid to South Africa over what he alleges is its anti-white land policy, its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and other foreign policy clashes. "It is not the US of Obama, it is not the US of Clinton. It is a different US and therefore our language must change," says Rasool after he was ousted from Washington on accusations of being "a race-baiting politician" who hates Trump. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
