The article presents a case study of South African foreign policy based on the data from South African Foreign Events Data. These studies have shown that reciprocity between behavior sent and behavior received was significant for 11 of the 12 years under observation. Also, they have shown that co-operative and conflictual behaviors were significant for 8 and 7 years, respectively. In another analysis, reciprocity was significant for all behavior sent and received within two of seven foreign policy issue areas, that is, security and Namibia. These findings encouraged investigating the occurrence reciprocity in South Africa's dyadic with other states and international actors. The findings show that direct and total behavior had considerable viability as an indicator of reciprocity, but indirect behavior was a poor indicator. Reciprocity of direct behavior was evident for 50 percent of the cases in the sample. Furthermore, the most outstanding findings show reciprocity for 69.4 percent of the dyads when behavior was direct and co-operative. For total conflictive behavior reciprocity, was evident for 58.3 percent of the cases.
