Nelson Mandela in Cairo Next Month

South African President Nelson Mandela will pay an official visit to Cairo next month. Mandela had visited Egypt in 1990 immediately after his release from prison. But his expected visit is to be the first since he took office.

President Mandela is also expected to meet with John Garang, the Sudanese opposition leader who will be visiting Cairo during the same period. Mandela has been exerting great efforts to solve the Sudanese crisis.
