President Jacob Zuma arrives in Kenya on Monday for a three-day state visit.
During his visit, Zuma will hold talks with Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta on a wide range of bilateral issues and also attend a joint South Africa – Kenya business summit.
Trade, immigration as well as security will top the agenda of President Zuma’s first state visit to Kenya.
The visit has been termed historic as it is the first state visit to Kenya by a sitting South African head of state and because both country are economic giants in their respective regions.
Kenya, which has fronted foreign affairs cabinet secretary Amina Mohammed to head the African Union Commission will be seeking to lobby South Africa to back her candidacy during the upcoming elections in January.
South Africa is Kenya’s fourth source of imports. In 2016, South African exports to Kenya topped R8.3 billion while imports from the East African nation stood at R366 million .
