The
President of the Burundian Transitional Government, Domitien
Ndayizeye, and representatives of the three main political parties,
Uprona, Frodebu and CNDD-FDD, will arrive in South Africa today for
talks, foreign affairs said.
"They were invited by Deputy President Jacob Zuma who is the
facilitator of the Burundi Peace Process," said spokesperson Ronnie
Mamoepa in a statement yesterday.
The delegation, which is expected to remain in the country until
Monday, will include the Burundian ministers of External Relations
and Co-operation, Therence Singunguruza, Mobilisation for Peace and
National Reconciliation, Antoine Butoyi and Justice, Didace
Kiganahe.
The Frodebu delegation will be headed by Jean Minani (President of
the National Assembly). Uprona will be lead by senator Jean
Baptiste Manwangari and the CNDD-FDD by Pierre Nkurunziza.
"The consultations between the political parties are expected to
focus on the issue of power-sharing arrangements raised with Zuma
during his visit to Bujumbura in June," Mamoepa said.
He said both sides expressed hope that the "issue would find a
resolution" at the Pretoria meeting.
