Pres
ident Thabo Mbeki, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, will depart for Monrovia today to
attend the ceremony during which president Charles Taylor will hand
over power to his vice-president, Moses Blah.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said that earlier this year, in
his capacity as then chairperson of the African Union, Mbeki had
been involved in efforts to bring about peace and stability in
Liberia.
Today's ceremony is expected to be attended by, among others, the
current chair of the African Union, Mozambican president Joachim
Chissano and the chair of Ecowas, president John Kufuor of Ghana.
