Abstract
Pan-Africanism is a concept that advocates for unity and solidarity among African peoples to address common challenges and promote collective interests. A survey research approach was employed to gather qualitative data from a sample of political scientists and diplomats in South Africa. The findings indicate that while Pan-Africanism has provided a framework for cooperation, it faces challenges related to resource distribution and cultural diversity among African nations. Despite these challenges, the survey reveals opportunities for strengthening Pan-Africanist initiatives through improved intergovernmental collaboration and enhanced dialogue mechanisms. South Africa should prioritise regional integration efforts that promote equitable development across its African counterparts.
