HeSa:lla on ilmeisesti palveluksessaan selvänäkijäkin...

Etelä-Afrikan maailmanpoliittinen kanta NAM-kokouksessa tiedettiin Helsingin Sanomien toimituksessa keskiviikkona lehden painoon mennessä, vaikka eteläafrikkalaisvaltuuskunta saapuu Havannaan vasta torstaina.
Torstaiaamuna 14.9. ilmestyneessä Helsingin Sanomien numerossa toimittaja Tellervo Yrjänä-Rantinoja "tiesi" kertoa, että Havannasa pidettävässsä maailman sitoutumattomien maiden liikkeen huippukokouksessa Etelä-Afrikka vastustaa Yhdysvaltain vastaisia painotuksia.
Mutta kun Etelä-Afrikan valtuuskunnan odotetaan saapuvan Havannaan vasta myöhemmin torstaina...
Toiseksi: Etelä-Afrikan tasavallan poliittis-kaupallinen orientoituminen itään, Venäjän ja Kiinan suuntaan
Yhdysvaltain sijasta on viimeaikaisten korkean valtiotason vierailujen valossa ilmeinen tosiasia.
Alla NAM-kokousta koskeva tämänpäiväinen eteläafrikkalaisen Sapa:n uutinen.

Mbeki off to Cuba for talks
Thu, 14 Sep 2006
President Thabo Mbeki and Foreign Minister Nkosazana Zuma are
expected to land in Cuba later on Thursday for the Non-Aligned
Movement (Nam) summit meeting of heads of state and government.
Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said the
president's visit to Cuba was "to effectively position Nam to play a
meaningful role in global affairs."
Other members of the South African delegation included deputy foreign
minister Aziz Pahad, and foreign affairs director-general Ayanda
Ntsaluba, who were already in Cuba for the Nam ministerial meeting.
The summit's agenda includes poverty and under-development, peace and
security, and "the restructuring of the global exercise of power."
The Middle East situation, terrorism, reform of the United Nations
and progress towards attaining the millennium development goals would
also be discussed.
South Africa is a member of the "Nam troika," which consists of
current, past and present chairpersons. Malaysia and Cuba are the
other two members.
"South Africa's tenure as member of the Nam troika will come to an
end should Egypt's offer to host the summit in 2009 be accepted,"
Mamoepa said.
Mbeki was in Brasilia on Wednesday, where he and the Indian prime
minister and the Brazilian president participated in the inaugural
India-Brazil-South Africa (Ibsa) heads of state and government
summit.
After the Nam summit, the president and the foreign minister will
proceed to New York for the 61st Session of the United Nations
General Assembly, scheduled from Monday to Wednesday of next week.
