Please note that earlier reports by SABC Africa that the Burundi ceasefire negotiations currently going on in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, have collapsed are incorrect.
Deputy President Jacob Zuma is still in Tanzania chairing the talks that started on Monday, 23 September, between the Transitional Government of Burundi and armed political movements.
This week the Deputy President is meeting with the Palipehutu Forces for National Liberation (Palipehutu FNL) and the transitional government.
If further developments occur, the Deputy President will issue a statement.
