Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Former President Thabo Mbeki has joined the African National Congress (ANC)’s international relations subcommittee this weekend as it examines its role and influence in global forums.<\/p>\n

The two-day retreat, which is currently underway in Boksburg, was opened earlier by the party’s first deputy secretary-general, Nomvula Mokonyane.<\/p>\n

She’s also the chair of its international relations subcommittee.<\/p>\n

The event takes place following a series of public spats between the ANC and its Government of National Unity (GNU) partner, the Democratic Alliance (DA), over foreign policy.<\/p>\n

Two major international relations issues have rocked the ANC in recent weeks \u2013 the first, Mokonyane’s deputy, Obed Bapela, seemingly wanting to forge better relations with Morocco and a fallout with the DA over the Russia\u2013Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Bapela’s alleged attempts fly against the ANC’s position, which is in alliance with the people of Western Sahara.<\/p>\n

While the DA remains opposed to labelling Russia’s Vladimir Putin as a friend and ally, a view expressed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, which the ANC supports.<\/p>\n

Both issues are likely to find their way on the agenda this weekend.<\/p>\n

Mokonyane said that the retreat would also discuss current conflicts and tensions, including the bombarding of Gaza and the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The subcommittee is also expected to assess the ANC’s participation and influence in forums such as SADC, the AU, BRICS, G20 and the UN.<\/p>\n
