Updated: 30 Sep 2019

President Kaunda of Zambia meets the Prime Minister, P.W. Botha on the Botswana border to discuss the political situation in Namibia and South Africa. This is the first meeting between any leader of a Front Line State and a South African premier since the Victoria Falls meeting between B.J. Vorster and President Kaunda on 25-26 August 1976. Kaunda is yet again criticised in the African press for meeting with representatives of the Apartheid regime.
