This alignment is framed as a step towards African unity, economic emancipation, and territorial integrity, themes deeply embedded in the continent's ongoing struggle for sovereignty and self-determination.

With historical ties, shared values, and common security and economic interests, the MK Party's proposal lays the groundwork for a powerful bilateral alliance that could redefine Africa’s role on the global stage.

Pan-African vision:

◆ The MK Party is advocating for a robust strategic alliance between South Africa and Morocco.

◆ The goal is to enhance African unity, uphold territorial integrity, and pursue economic independence.

Shared anti-colonial legacy

◆ Both nations emerged from anti-colonial struggles: Morocco from French and Spanish rule, South Africa from apartheid.
