But the Minister for the Presidency, Mayiik Ayii Deng, said President
Kiir was invited to South African by his counterpart, Jacob Zuma.
“The president of the republic is going for bilateral visit. He is
responding to the invitation extended to him by the president of South
Africa, his Excellency Jacob Zuma. It is therefore a very important
visit. It will focus on bilateral matters and how the relations
between the two countries could be strengthened,” stressed Deng.
“You know that South Africa is one of the countries which stood with
our people during the war of liberation struggle and now it is playing
another very important role in the peace process,” he added.
Despite the minister’s explanations, however, some government
officials claimed President Kiir is in South Africa for medical
reasons.
“The president will off course use the opportunity to go for routine
checks. He was due for checks in October but he did not go because of
other commitments”, a presidential source told Sudan Tribune on
Tuesday.
The official, who asked not to be identified, downplayed the severity
of the sickness, further saying it was just “a normal check for
fitness”.

Minister Ayii,

president healthy condition is deteriorating, but just said it like
that, so that your nincompoop government should not panic.

Dinka’s tribal gang leader kiir should be treated in his own
country and should not worry about visiting the countries that their
leaders are elected by people since he does not want to allow election
to take place in his country.

I strongly believe sanction could bring about peace in the
country, All the leaders of South Sudan are sick and can not survive
without medical attention. Once they are sanctioned on travel ban and
freeze their Assists and account, peace can reign in South Sudan.
Now what happened to the suggested sanction, why not to implement it
