South Africa ordered Israel's deputy ambassador to leave the country within 72 hours on Friday, accusing him of undermining relations between the countries with social media posts that insulted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and violating diplomatic protocols.

The South African message is clear. Moral outrage is acceptable so long as it does not interrupt revenue streams.

Pastor Tienie Wessels asked for forgiveness for the South African government’s anti-Israel stance, saying, “They’re not speaking on our behalf.”
