While University of Johannesburg professor of politics Siphamandla Zondi and independent political analyst Dr Ralph Mathekga saw the trip as presenting spinoffs for South Africa and the West African region, University of South Africa political science professor Dirk Kotze warned of Nigeria being a stumbling block in Ramaphosa achieving his objectives.

“While more than 220 million vaccine doses have been administered on the continent, only 6.7% of Africa’s population is fully vaccinated. This is simply not enough, if we are to revive and rebuild our economies. Said Zondi: “Trade relations in Africa already are among the most significant for South Africa in concrete economic terms.“The coming into effect 11 months ago of the African Continental Free Trade Area made Africa an even more attractive market for South African businesses.

“West Africa hosts some of the biggest SA investments, including companies in the telecommunication, agriculture and mining sectors.

Unfortunately Africa's leaders have got the cultural ability to build, their standards are 3rd world and they will continuously increasing poverty standards.
