When the African National Congress came to power in 1994, many expected that the new government would reform its policies with respect to the rest of the continent, placing the accent on human rights. Ten years later, the results are inconclusive. This article examines the reasons behind this observation and shows how South Africa has developed a pragmatic foreign policy, and analyses the implementation by the government of a policy of 'soft power' and the durability of such a role within Africa.
