It was my honor to meet President Ramaphosa today, and I am grateful for his empathy and genuine engagement with Afghan women who are leading the call to recognize gender apartheid as a crime against humanity. As Afghanistan approaches five years under Taliban rule with its brutal restrictions on women's rights and ban on girls' education, South Africa's leadership is vital to securing justice and ensuring that gender apartheid has no place anywhere in the world.

Minister Lamola outlined three specific areas of concern that have heightened recent tensions between the two countries:

The purported installation of an unrecognised traditional ruler, titled an “Igbo King”, in the Eastern Cape Province in March 2026 caused widespread public concern across South Africa. Minister Lamola emphasised that this occurred while South Africa is actively consolidating the constitutional role of traditional leadership in a post-apartheid society.

Concerns were raised regarding the involvement of certain foreign nationals, including Nigerian citizens, in organised crime, illicit drug trafficking, and financial fraud. The Special Envoy noted that as of 7 July 2026, more than 500 Nigerian nationals had been processed through the South African criminal justice system for various offenses, highlighting the need for enhanced cross-border security cooperation.

Minister Lamola addressed instances where law enforcement officers faced violent resistance or obstruction during criminal investigations. Specific concern was raised regarding hijacked residential and commercial properties in urban centres such as Hillbrow (Johannesburg) and Sunnyside (Pretoria), where unlawful enclaves have compromised public safety for local residents and foreign nationals alike.

“Regrettably, these incidents have fueled negative perceptions surrounding Nigerian nationals living in South Africa over the years. Addressing these challenges firmly, fairly, and within the bounds of the law is vital for the well-being of both our nations.”
Minister Ronald Lamola, MP

@waltermzembi "Taking a principled stand for the Global South and defending national sovereignty isn't about isolation, it's actively leading on the world stage by forcing global institutions to respect international laws."

The Nelson Mandela Foundation presents the inaugural Nelson Mandela Global Leadership Forum, continuing our longstanding tradition of bringing together leaders, thinkers and changemakers to reflect on the defining challenges of our time and the kind of leadership needed to meet them.

At a moment when societies around the world are grappling with inequality, conflict, declining trust in institutions and deep political polarisation, the Forum creates a platform for courageous conversations, bold ideas and values-based leadership inspired by Madiba’s enduring legacy.

During #MandelaMonth, we celebrate Nelson Mandela’s life and legacy while asking what that legacy demands of us today.

We are honoured to welcome, New York Mayor, Zohran Kwame Mamdani as our inaugural Distinguished Speaker as we continue mobilising leadership for a more just and equitable world.

Stay tuned to our social media platforms for coverage from New York.

I remember this day clearly when @FloMasebe stood and presented her (our) case. Today, that ceiling we were trying to break through has now become the floor of another level. The fight continues and will be won. Thank you Khadzi, and to other thespians who continue to sacrifice their all for the benefit of South African artists.

[U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa @USAmbRSA]

The Government of South Africa rolls out the red carpet for Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, while Deputy President Mashatile is in Beijing deepening ties with China. Pretoria calls this "non-alignment." We call it what it is: a choice. The South African people deserve an honest conversation about who their government is choosing to stand with. #NotSoNonAligned
