As the continent celebrates Africa Day, Minister of International Relations Naledi Pandor is in Egypt to rekindle relations between Pretoria and Cairo.

Pandor is also expected to join President Cyril Ramaphosa in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, where they will participate in the African Union extra-ordinary summit.

Egypt is home to the historical pyramids and the owner of the Suez Canal. The country has a population of about 102 million and its GDP grew by 5 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Egypt is also Africa’s third largest economy. Home to the Pharaohs and popular soccer team Al Ahly, Egypt is famous for its ancient civilisation. The country’s financial potential cannot be ignored. Pretoria plans to strengthen its relationship with Cairo again.

International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor, “We have a joint commission between South Africa and Egypt which was established many years ago at the inception of South Africa’s democracy. We have not serviced it well as we should. Egypt is very big population, they have a growing economy and they are keen to have ties with South Africa.”
