The Deputy Minister of Police, Ms Maggie Sotyu will lead a police delegation on an official visit to Equatorial Guinea from 13 to 18 March 2011.
The Deputy Minister will meet with Equatorial Guinea’s Minister of National Security, Mr Nicolas Obama Nchama. The purpose of the visit is based on a framework of collaboration and cooperation between South Africa and Equatorial Guinea and has an intention to discuss issues concerning police matters based on South Africa’s international event-hosting expertise.
Of most importance will be the Equatorial Guinea’s government to draw lessons from South Africa’s experience from a security perspective as they prepare to hold a successful Summit of the African Union in June 2011 as well as their hosting of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in 2012.
Others issues on the agenda include police equipment, police training, utilising information communication technology (ICT) in fighting crime and other technical support-related matters. South Africa has worked closely with the number of other international agencies and countries on the best methods to safely secure and host international events and will utilise this visit to share with Equatorial Guinea.
