President Thabo Mbeki was on Sunday expected to attend an African Peer Review Forum during which South Africa’s country report will be presented, the Foreign Affairs Department said.
The forum, in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, will also look at Ghana, Rwanda and Kenya, which had already been peer-reviewed, said spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation reported on Sunday that although South Africa’s report had not yet been published, it is believed to raise questions on South Africa’s handling of the HIV-Aids pandemic, crime and delivery of basic services. — Sapa
