Takes one friend out to the real world to see all the cool stuff with him

Pretoria and Kigali have agreed to resolve a furious diplomatic row sparked by attacks on Rwandan dissidents exiled in Johannesburg, South African President Jacob Zuma said Wednesday.
Speaking after meeting Tuesday in the Angolan capital Luanda with his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame, Zuma told public broadcaster SABC that the two leaders had "agreed to share some detailed information and deal with the issues".
The presence of many Rwandan dissidents in South Africa has long been a bone of contention between the two countries, but relations turned frosty after Kigali's exiled former intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya was found strangled to death in a luxury Johannesburg hotel on New Year's Day.
The full-blown row was sparked by a botched assassination attempt on March 3 against former Rwandan army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, an opponent of Kagame, also in Johannesburg.
It was the third attempt on Nyamwasa's life since he was granted asylum in South Africa in 2010.
