South African delegation due for talks

    NAIROBI

    A high-level South African delegation led by Foreign Minister Nkosazana Zuma was due in Lubumbashi, Katanga Province, on Friday to begin three days of talks on the peace process with Congolese officials. Zuma would be accompanied by Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota and Safety and Security Minister Steve Tshwete. The negotiations were aimed at “supporting and encouraging the peace process”, Reuters news agency quoted a South African official as saying. Zuma said she was going to DRC to discuss “common issues” as well as bilateral relations, which have been strained by accusations by Kabila that South Africa was backing the rebels in the east.
