President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa will continue to call for urgent reforms of the UN Security Council.
He was answering oral questions in the National Assembly yesterday.
Ramaphosa says the current unjust global, political and economic system is a reflection of how the world was seven decades ago.
“South African maintains that the international, political and economic system remains unequal and unjust. It reflects the world as it was more than 70 years ago. Not as it is today. We, therefore, continue to call for the urgent reform of the security council based on the African common position.”
He adds: “This position which is articulated in the Ezulweni consensus, calls for two permanent seats and five non-permanent seats at the UN Security Council for Africa. It calls for the abolishment of the veto right and prerogative that currently is held by five members”
