PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma was expected to fly to Accra last night to attend the inauguration of John Dramani Mahama as president of Ghana
Spokesman Mac Maharaj said the inauguration would happen today and International Relations and Co-operation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane would accompany Zuma.
Mahama's National Democratic Congress won the December elections with 50.7% of the votes.
"Relations between South Africa and Ghana are excellent," Maharaj said.
"Initially trade between the two countries concentrated on agricultural products, but since 2005 South Africa has begun to export value-added manufactured capital goods to Ghana."
During a private visit to South Africa late in December, Mahama met Zuma at his residence at Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal.
