President Jacob Zuma has today, Sunday, 21 March 2010 concluded his visit to Namibia.
President Zuma joined other African and International Heads of State and Government in celebrating Namibia's 20 years of independence and the inauguration of President Hefukinye Pohamba.
“South West Africa People's Organisation's (SWAPO) liberation history and the historical close links with the African National Congress (ANC) make our visit and attendance of the celebrations more special. We are happy that Namibia is celebrating 20 years of independence and that SWAPO has led Namibia for two decades that have been characterised by peace and stability," said President Zuma.
President Zuma also took time to meet with President Armando Geubuza of Mozambique, who is also the Chair of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Organ Troika on Defence, Politics and Security, to brief him about his recent visit to Zimbabwe.
President Zuma will receive a full report from the Zimbabwean negotiators on 31 March 2010, which he will in turn present to President Guebuza. President Zuma also briefed President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who is the current Chair of SADC, on the visit to
Zimbabwe.
