Statement from the South African Government Following Explosions in Morocco

The South African Government has noted with concern the explosions in Casablanca in the Kingdom of Morocco on Friday 16 May 2003.

The Government of South Africa offers its deepest condolences to the government of the Kingdom of Morocco and families and friends of those killed in these explosions. We also wish those who have been injured a speedy recovery.

The South African Government once again reiterates its unequivocal condemnation of all acts of terrorism. In this regard, circumstances that give rise to terrorism must be fundamentally addressed if we are to succeed in uprooting the scourge of terrorism.

The South African Government expresses its confidence that the authorities in Morocco will do everything in their power to bring the perpetrators of these dastardly acts to face the full might of the law.
