A SOUTH African driver is facing charges in Namibia after his car-transporter nearly collided with a motorcade carrying presidents Eduardo dos Santos of Angola and Laurent Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Disaster for the two heads of state was narrowly averted when their 15-vehicle motorcade made way for Andries Nienaber, 45, from Magaliesburg, whose 35-tonne transporter, carrying nine new cars, could not get out of their way without danger of jack-knifing on the steep and winding stretch of road. The two heads of state were on their way home after an emergency summit on the war in the DRC with Namibian President Sam Nujoma and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe. – AFP
