CHISSANO TO ESTABLISH PEACE FOUNDATION FOR AFRICA
Retiring Mozambican president Joachim Chissano will establish a foundation for the development of peace in Africa, he said at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tuesday.
After being greeted by President Thabo Mbeki on his farewell tour, Chissano said he was not saying goodbye. When he retired in January, he would have more time for the people of Southern Africa.
Chissano ends 18 years in power in January.
A 66-person contingent and three Oryx helicopters from the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) is in Mozambique to assist with the collection of ballot boxes from inaccessible areas. The contingent will be operating until Friday at the latest, the SANDF said.
