]]> Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu says President Joseph Kabila’s assured his regional partners that elections scheduled for December in the Democratic Republic of Congo will be peaceful.

Kabila’s discussions with his SADC peers proceeded the rejection of Jean-Pierre Bemba as a presidential candidate in that poll.

Lindiwe Sisulu told journalists in Pretoria that DRC President Joseph Kabila has left SADC leader with the impression that the situation in his country is under control.

She denied media  reports that Kabila’s rejected former President Thabo Mbeki as South Africa’s special envoy to the DRC.

The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation says in fact, government has brought Mbeki in to consult on matter relating to the Great lakes region given his considerable experience in these matters.

]]> In preparations for Sunday’ s African Union summit in Sandton, humanitarian actress Angelina Jolie is speaking at a panel tomorrow on violence against women.
Jolie is a special envoy of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees and speaks vociferously on women’s issues.
Angelina Jolie arrived in Johannesburg this from France where she surprised holidaymakers by cramming into the tourist class seats with her husband and children on a flight to Nice.
Tomorrow sees a jam packed programme ahead of the summit with a number of non governmental organisations making their point as African foreign ministers complete their programme.
If Jolie will be among them, nervous security officials will presumeably force her to use the back door with other members of civic society and the media
