The South African government’s foreign policy approach has increasingly been shambolic with our approach to the Ukraine war possibly costing us access to crucial markets and humiliating the nation as it trips over itself trying to rectify mistakes of its own creation, while climate change will play an increasingly important role in the future of the country’s development.

South Africa's approach to international relations should mostly be driven by:

not sure / no opinion Whatever is in the best interest of the ruling party of the day The promotion of Africa's interests A balance between South Africa's economic interests and the advancement of human rights The fight against Western Imperialism

With regards to the International Criminal Court, South Africa should:

not sure / no opinion Withdraw its membership Remain a member and enforce its arrest warrants Remain a member and use diplomatic relations to advance the reform of the institution

When choosing our international allies, we should:

not sure / no opinion Align ourselves with western countries like the US, UK and European nations Pick the side of developing countries like Russia and China Remain entirely neutral Seek a balance in diplomatic relations that advance our economic interest and human rights

When it comes to international trade, we should:

not sure / no opinion Protect our own industries with import controls and tariffs Allow fully free trade without any restriction Use trade controls carefully to promote fair trade

What things should we consider when approaching South Africa's international relations with other countries?

How should South Africa approach its participation in international bodies like BRICS, the UN and the International Criminal Court, and should we always enforce their rules and regulations?

What can we do to ensure that South Africa's economy gets the maximum benefit from international trade?

What can we do to make sure that our diplomatic institutions are professional and represent South Africa's interest in a way that we can be proud of?

As part of ActionSA’s commitment to give power back to the people of South Africa, we invite all South Africans to participate in the development of our ground-breaking consultative policy process.
