South African President has commended Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama for his efforts to encourage stronger cooperation among African countries, describing the call for unity as an important step towards addressing some of the continent’s most pressing challenges.
Speaking in a video sighted by Nsemwokrom.com, the South African leader said he was pleased with President Mahama’s consistent message urging African nations to work more closely with South Africa and one another in finding solutions to shared problems.
According to him, Mahama’s position has helped shape South Africa’s approach to engaging other countries across the continent as it seeks broader collaboration on key issues affecting African societies.
“This time around, we say we want to work together. Work with us, and I’m very pleased that President Mahama of Ghana has been saying he would like to make a call on other African countries to work with South Africa,” the President stated.
The remarks come at a time when conversations about African cooperation, regional integration and collective problem-solving are increasingly dominating discussions among political leaders across the continent.
African governments continue to face a range of challenges that cut across national borders, making cooperation between countries an important part of policy discussions.
The South African President noted that his government has decided to send envoys to various African countries to explain a number of initiatives and programmes it hopes to pursue with the support of other nations.
According to him, the objective is to ensure that African leaders and citizens better understand the challenges facing South Africa and the reasons why greater collaboration is needed.
He emphasized that many of the issues confronting South Africa are not unique to that country alone.
Instead, he argued that they reflect broader continental challenges that affect several African nations in different ways.
Among the issues highlighted were unemployment, security concerns, social pressures, service delivery difficulties and migration-related challenges.
“These are challenges that many African countries are dealing with in one form or another,” he suggested, while stressing the need for a coordinated response.
The comments are particularly significant against the backdrop of recent discussions surrounding migration, economic opportunities and social tensions in parts of Africa.
In recent years, concerns about unemployment and the movement of people across borders have become major policy issues for several governments. These concerns have often sparked debates about how African countries can balance economic growth, security and regional integration.
For the South African President, however, the solution lies in partnership rather than isolation.
“This is an African problem. It’s not only a South African problem. We are all involved in this,” he said.
The statement reflects a growing belief among many African leaders that some of the continent’s biggest challenges can only be effectively addressed through cooperation among governments, institutions and citizens.
Regional bodies such as the African Union and various economic communities have long advocated closer collaboration in areas including trade, security, migration and infrastructure development.
Supporters of this approach argue that African countries share many common interests and that stronger partnerships can help accelerate development while reducing tensions linked to economic and social pressures.
President Mahama has, on several occasions, spoken about the importance of African unity and stronger collaboration among nations on the continent.
His advocacy for regional cooperation has often focused on the need for African countries to support one another in tackling common challenges and pursuing shared development goals.
The latest endorsement from South Africa’s leader is likely to attract attention from political observers who view cooperation between African states as increasingly important in a rapidly changing global environment.
As governments continue to search for solutions to unemployment, security threats and economic challenges, calls for greater continental unity are expected to remain at the centre of policy discussions.
The South African President concluded his remarks by reiterating that lasting progress will require the involvement of governments, communities and migrants themselves.
“This is an African problem that requires African solutions,” he stated, emphasizing the need for African-led responses to African challenges.

The comments have generated discussion among political observers, members of the African diaspora and social media users across the continent.
Many people welcomed the emphasis on African unity and cooperation, arguing that stronger partnerships between countries could help address common challenges more effectively.
Others focused on the practical side of the discussion, noting that unemployment, migration concerns, security issues and service delivery challenges require concrete policies and long-term solutions.
The remarks have also renewed conversations about the role African leaders can play in promoting regional collaboration and ensuring that shared problems are addressed collectively rather than individually.
