The strong historical, political and economic links between Germany and South Africa have since 1994 developed to such an extent that the relations between the two countries could be described as a strategic partnership. Visits to Germany by former President Mandela and President Mbeki as well as the visits of former Chancellor Khöl and former Federal Presidents Herzog and Rau to South Africa in recent years have all contributed to the intensification of relations. In 1997 during the visit of then Deputy-President Mbeki the South African – German Binational Commission was launched. The BNC has become the most important instrument through which bilateral relations are conducted. It currently consists of six committees, namely; Economy, Defence, Environment, Culture, Development Cooperation and Science and Technology.
