“We have in the past expressed our profound and unequivocal appreciation of the important contribution that Morocco made to our own (South Africa) struggle for self-determination, within the specific contexts of the struggle against the apartheid system in our country. This created a strong base for the development of the world relations of friendship and solidarity both our countries have successfully sought to build since our liberation in 1994. In this regard, we have regretted and continue to regret the fact that, owing to unresolved question of Western Sahara, Morocco is not able to play its due role in the renewal of our continent as a full and active member of the AU” Dr Thabo Mbeki former President of South Africa. It is really sad that Morocco is dragging its feet on the matter of Western Sahara. People of Western Sahara like people of South Africa deserve self determination. We the people of South Africa under the auspices of the ANC government we will support the struggle of Western Sahara people. We will do everything in our power to raise the issue of Western Sahara, especially at UNSC.Philani.Lubanyana@EThekwini.South Africa
