He will be accompanied by the international relations department’s deputy minister Marius Fransman, department spokesman Clayson Monyela said in a statement.

“President Zuma is expected to hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and will exchange views on strengthening relations between the two countries, as well as on issues of mutual concern, both in the bilateral and multilateral spheres.” 

The visit formed part of celebrations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence.

It was also about recognising the role played by Jamaica in the struggle against apartheid, and to celebrate Jamaica’s achievements as a parliamentary democracy.

Jamaica and South Africa signed an agreement for co-operation in arts and culture in 2009.

Will he be taking all four of our first ladies? There will be enough holy herb in Jamaica for for the whole entourage. @BraMafutha: It will decrease our price of ganja and increase the sale of reggae music (I hope).
