Naledi Pandor is treading the Pik Botha path to SA’s diplomatic oblivion
Quick Glance: South Africa's Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny
  • In a mirror image of Pik Botha’s missions during apartheid to sell South Africa's 'good intentions' to the US, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor is striving to defend her government's somewhat battered foreign policy.

  • South Africa seems to believe that maintaining good relations with the White House allows it to challenge US sentiments, values, and interests in international relations without jeopardizing its economic ties.

  • Following the Ukraine invasion and our misguided stance, it is crucial for South Africa to rediscover its democratic foundations and advocate for ordinary people across the continent who seek transparent and accountable freely elected governments.

  • A recurring pattern emerges: South Africa takes hasty positions and hastily retraces its steps when faced with diplomatic repercussions. The ANC now confronts the chilly winds of disapproval, struggling to cope, partly due to its overwhelming commitment to sanctimonious ideological rhetoric that clouds its judgment.
