President Cyril Ramaphosa has signalled the continuation of South Africa's foreign policy with the appointment of Ronald Lamola as the new minister of international relations and cooperation.
Lamola, who is the former minister of justice and correctional services, takes over from Naledi Pandor, who recently announced her retirement.
Lamola, 41, a trained attorney, has been an MP since May 2019.
He is a former deputy president of the ANC Youth League, having joined the league at the age of 13.
He has been on the international stage, playing a key role in the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and his appointment by Ramaphosa may signal continuity in the country's foreign policy.
Ramaphosa also announced Alvin Botes and Thandi Moraka as the deputies.
South Africa has been at the forefront of the ICJ case at the Peace Palace against Israel for its war in Gaza.
The country's foreign policy has become more clear than before, with Ramaphosa having cleared the fog about what the country wants in the world and how the world can benefit from SA.
