ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has emphasised the need for the South African government to use its position to advance the lives of many by restoring and rebuilding its diplomatic ties with various states worldwide.

During a Tuesday foreign policy panel with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Mashaba presented the five pillars - including human rights and diplomatic and trade relations - ActionSA envisions for the country, which he said could improve SA's foreign policy.

Mashaba, however, expressed shame and disappointment, saying that after the country became a democracy, the government had the opportunity to make a difference and"address all governments with the miracle of the Constitution adopted by this country". Mashaba added that for Ubuntu to be achieved, the acceptance and application of laws of the country had to be respected by all within its borders, adding:"We need to continue inviting people of the world to come to SA, but people must come here legally and when you are in our country, respect our laws.

Describing the complexities and changes in the"geopolitical landscape", she said that in the country's quest to trade with countries it could get the most"advantage" from, it was essential for it to navigate geopolitical rivalries such as Russia-Ukraine.
