Nigeria, South Africa vow to make Africa greater





CAPE TOWN (AFP) – Leaders from continental powerhouses South Africa and Nigeria pledged to create an alliance “to make Africa great” Tuesday, signing a slew of bilateral deals to renew often strained relations.

South African President Jacob Zuma rolled out a red carpet for his counterpart Goodluck Jonathan, in what was hailed as a landmark visit to overcome simmering regional rivalries.

“My presence here today signals a spirit of renewal of our partnership. Together, we will make Africa great,” Jonathan told South African lawmakers after ministers signed nine pacts covering oil and gas, power, defence and communication.
