President Cyril Ramaphosa in his capacity as chair of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has arrived in the Mozambican capital Maputo on a working visit.

The visit formed part of a long-standing tradition in the SADC region, whereby newly elected Heads of State pay  courtesy calls to the neighbouring countries, Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Khusela Diko said in a statement.

In Mozambique, Ramaphosa is scheduled to hold discussions with Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on cementing bilateral relations between the two countries.

South Africa and Mozambique enjoy cordial bilateral relations, underpinned by strong historical and political bonds that date back to the era of the struggle against colonialism and apartheid.

Ramaphosa is accompanied by International Relations and Co-operation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu and the State Security Minister Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba.

Following the visit to Mozambique, Ramaphosa will travel to Zimbabwe, where he will pay a courtesy call on President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Diko said.
