In this solo episode of The Readiness Report, Redi Tlhabi discusses newly appointed US Ambassador to South Africa, Leo Brent Bozell III, and the recent rebuke from Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola. Drawing on her own experience of living abroad, from the United States to London, she offers four “tips” on what it means to enter a new society as a guest, why understanding local sensitivities matters, and how diplomacy can unravel when those lessons are ignored. Listen in!
