On the Discourse this morning, we turn our attention to the relationship between Juba and Pretoria. Just a day before South Sudan's President Salva Kiir embarked on his latest visit to South Africa, two Ethiopian UN peacekeepers were killed in an ambush in Jonglei State.

South Sudan and South Africa tighten bilateral relations through a high-level diplomatic working visit as South Sudanese President Salva Kiir met with his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa in Pretoria.
