US President Donald Trump has named conservative media critic and pro-Israel commentator Leo Brent Bozell III as ambassador to South Africa, amid worsening diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Mr Bozell 's nomination follows Washington's expulsion of South Africa's ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, for remarks deemed critical of Trump.

The Trump administration has condemned South Africa's legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice over the war in Gaza and has accused its government of discriminating against white South Africans to seize their land.

The nomination must still be confirmed by the US Senate.
