The accreditation of Morocco’s Ambassador to Pretoria Youssef Amrani has been welcomed by South African analysts and policy makers as a new chapter in bilateral ties. Amrani presented his credentials to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday in a move that was hailed by analysts as a step forward to foster bilateral ties and set up a political dialogue between two of Africa’s most advanced and diversified economies. Rabat-Pretoria partnership opens up numerous opportunities for investors in both countries, he said, as both of them are trailblazers in Africa and catalysts of change. Besides, Morocco and South Africa are the two largest African investors in the continent. “As government and people of South Africa we hope to deepen our economic partnership and political dialogue as well as our cooperation on issues of common interest,” the South African President on his part said.
