N. ker je Južna Afrika kvalificirana članica Cotonoujskega sporazuma, ki ni upravičena do nevzajemnih trgovinskih olajšav in do financiranja iz Evropskega razvojnega sklada, vendar je vključena v politično sodelovanje in v institucije AKP-EU,
N. whereas South Africa is a qualified member of the Cotonou Agreement not eligible for non-reciprocal trade preferences and not benefiting from funding through the European Development Fund, but participating in political cooperation and the ACP-EU institutions,

8. predlaga, naj se politični dialog med EU in Južno Afriko še naprej razvija preko rednih izmenjav obiskov parlamentarnih delegacij (ki so ključne za večje vzajemno razumevanje vprašanj skupnega interesa, demokratičnih sistemov obeh strani in področij pristojnosti);
Suggests that the EU-South Africa political dialogue should be further developed by means of regular exchange visits by parliamentary delegations (which are essential if there is to be greater mutual understanding of matters of common interest, the two parties' respective democratic systems and areas of responsibility);
13. poudarja, da mora biti v akcijskem načrtu posebej poudarjeno ustvarjanje pobud za tuja vlaganja preko oblikovanja inovativne strategije ob povezovanju z vlado Južne Afrike, da bi presegli glavne ovire za vlaganja, kot so družbene in gospodarske posledice AIDS-a, visoka stopnja kriminala in vpletenost države v politiko zaposlovanja in premoženje;
Stresses that under the Action Plan, particular emphasis should be placed on creating incentives for foreign investment through the drawing up of an innovative strategy in association with the South African authorities with a view to overcoming the main obstacles to investment, such as the social and economic impact of AIDS, the high crime rate and state involvement in employment policy and property;
19. poleg tega predlaga, naj se na področju izobraževanja in usposabljanja oblikuje področje sodelovanja, v katerem bodo študenti in učitelji, ter se odpre program Erasmus Mundus za Južno Afriko;
Furthermore, proposes that an area of cooperation should be developed in the field of education and training, to include exchanges of students and teachers and a South Africa Window in the Erasmus Mundus programme;

Po desetletjih nadvlade bele manjšine v okviru apartheida so v Južni Afriki aprila 1994 potekale prve večstrankarske splošne volitve.
After decades of being governed by the white minority under the apartheid system, SA held its first-ever multi-party general elections in April 1994.
S prehodom z vlade bele manjšine k demokraciji je Južna Afrika postala enakopravna članica mednarodne skupnosti.
Having achieved this peaceful transition from white-minority rule to democracy, the country became a fully-fledged member of the international community.

Ta država je imela pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju Afriške unije.
SA played a significant role in the formation of the African Union.
Predsednik Mbeki je tesno povezan Novim partnerstvom za razvoj Afrike (NEPAD).
President Mbeki is closely associated with NEPAD, the New Partnership for African Development.
Poleg tega ima vidno vlogo pri prizadevanjih za mir v afriških državah in regijah v konfliktih.

Notranja politika
Domestic politics
Politiko Južne Afrike je od prvih svobodnih volitev leta 1994 naprej vodil Afriški nacionalni kongres (ANC) ter na ravni osebnosti predsednika Nelson Mandela in Thabo Mbeki.
Since the first free elections in 1994, South Africa's policy has been dominated by the African National Congress (ANC), and personally by Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki.
Na drugem mestu je Demokratska zveza s 47 sedeži.
The Democratic Alliance is second with 47 seats.
ANC je svoj vodilni položaj potrdil na lokalnih volitvah leta 2006, ko je stranka prejela 66,3 % od vseh glasov v državi.
The leading position of the ANC has been confirmed by the 2006 local elections (66.3% of the nationwide vote).
Kljub široki podpori ANC na volitvah sta južnoafriška vlada in zlasti predsednik Mbeki deležna kritik zaradi številnih problematik, kot so obravnavanje brezposelnosti, kriminala in virusa HIV/AIDS-a.
In spite of the broad support for the ANC in the elections, the government and specifically President Mbeki is criticised in a number of issues including the handling of unemployment, crime and HIV/AIDS.
V Južni Afriki je z virusom HIV okuženih 5,5 milijonov ljudi, kar je največ na svetu.
South Africa has the highest number of HIV infected people in the world (5.5 million).
Leta 2005 je zaradi bolezni AIDS umrlo 320.000 ljudi, medtem ko je okuženih 18,8 % celotnega prebivalstva.
320 000 people died from AIDS in 2005 and 18.8% of the population are infected.
Pandemija AIDSA ni le humanitarna tragedija, ogroža tudi gospodarstvo Južne Afrike, saj je zaradi nje življenjska doba Južnoafričanov zmanjšana na 45,7 let.
The AIDS pandemic is not only a humanitarian tragedy; it also affects the South African economy having reduced South Africans' life expectancy to 45.7 years .
Čeprav je predsednik Mbeki s svojimi izjavami o virusu HIV/AIDS povzročil zmešnjavo, je južnoafriška vlada začela proaktivno uporabljati patentno pravo za generična antiretrovirusna zdravila v okviru sporazuma o trgovinskih vidikih pravic intelektualne lastnine (TRIPs) ter uvedla sistemske spremembe v državnem zdravstvenem sistemu.
Although President Mbeki caused confusion with remarks about HIV and AIDS, the South African government has taken a pro-active stance in attempting to use patent law for generic anti-retroviral drugs in the framework of the TRIPs agreement and structural and systemic changes in the national health system were introduced.
Gospodarska politika
Economic policy
Stopnja brezposelnosti v Južni Afriki je zelo visoka (nad 40 %) in skupaj z virusom HIV/AIDS povzroča družbeno nestabilnost, ki se med drugim kaže v izredno visoki stopnji kriminala.
The unemployment rate is extremely high in South Africa at more than 40%.
Južna Afrika je država z najvišjo stopnjo umorov in posilstev na svetu, kar negativno vpliva na podobo države in neposredne tuje naložbe.
The high unemployment rate and HIV/AIDS disaster contribute to social instability expressed inter alia by the extremely high crime rate.
Južni Afriki še vedno ni povsem uspelo odpraviti negativnih posledic na njeno gospodarstvo iz obdobja apartheida, ki je povzročilo predvsem izgubo čezmorskih tržišč, neučinkovitost državnih sektorjev in, kar je najhujše, ogromne razlike v dohodkih med manjšinskim belim in večinskim temnopoltim prebivalstvom.
South Africa has one of the highest rates of murder and rape in the world, which affects negatively on the image of the country and has an effect on Foreign Direct Investment.
To pomeni, da večina belega prebivalstva živi v pogojih, ki so primerljivi z zahodnoevropskimi standardi, medtem ko večina temnopoltega prebivalstva živi v pogojih, primerljivih z najmanj razvitimi državami.
Income inequality is among the highest in the world, the poorest 20% of the population receive 3.3% of income while the richest 10% receive 47.3%, i.e. the majority of the white population live in conditions comparable to western European standards, while a majority of the black population live in conditions comparable with least developed countries.
Skoraj polovica prebivalstva živi pod mejo revščine.
Close to half of the population live below the poverty line.
