## Resource

ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula forged deeper ties with Mozambique’s FRELIMO during a landmark visit to Maputo, reaffirming the shared legacy of liberation and calling for African-led solutions to regional challenges like extremism in Cabo Delgado. He defended South Africa’s stance against xenophobia, stressing that the nation’s openness shouldn’t be overshadowed by isolated incidents, while acknowledging illegal immigration as a global issue requiring legal, not hateful, responses. Mbalula underscored the economic bond — Mozambique is South Africa’s largest continental trading partner — and championed expanding the Maputo Development Corridor to boost regional integration, reminding all that colonial borders can’t sever the unbreakable kinship between “One People in Two Countries.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
