LIBYAN leader Moamer Kadhafi visited Soweto on Tuesday and pledged to work for African peace and unity. He said he would strive to attain peaceful solutions to crises afflicting the African continent, in “Sierra Leone, Angola and such countries”. Kadhafi, who arrived in South Africa on Sunday, will be among the guests at president-elect Thabo Mbeki’s inauguration in Pretoria on Wednesday. Kadhafi made his comments while visiting the Soweto home of African National Congress stalwart Walter Sisulu. The Libyan leader held the frail 87-year-old’s hand as he sat alongside he and his wife Albertina on a couch in the living room of their home. Referring to Sisulu as “a great freedom fighter,” Kadhafi added: “He can see the people of Africa enjoying the freedom for which he paid a lot of his blood sweat and youth.”
