Since 1994 South Africa has played an increasingly important
role in the international community and has become an influential member of
many of the international organisations to which it belongs. President
Mbeki’s pivotal role in the New Partnership for African Development
(Nepad) is perhaps the best example of this.
The most important international organisations of which
South Africa is a member include the United Nations, the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
and the African Union (AU).
President Mbeki, Vice President Zuma, ex-President Mandela
and representatives of the Department of Foreign Affairs all play active roles
in dispute resolution, particularly in the African context.
International trade with South Africa has grown
significantly since 1994, while South Africa has become an increasingly visited
tourist destination and host of international conferences and events.
