President Zuma’s Nigerian visit seen as attempt to mend fences

ABUJA — President Jacob Zuma begins a two-day state visit to Nigeria on Tuesday, which observers see as an attempt to mend fences between the continent’s largest economic powers.

 
Key events on the trip include an address to the National Assembly in the capital, Abuja, and a meeting with the South Africa-Nigeria Business Forum, Mr Zuma’s office has announced.
Pretoria is putting a positive spin on the visit, talking up the pair’s "good bilateral political, economic and social relations" and potential new business opportunities.
But neither presidency made mention of tension between the two countries, including most recently the huge fine imposed by Nigeria on MTN.
