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.
