Updated | By Anastasi Mokgobu
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to visit the Republic of Rwanda to attend the 30th Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

On Sunday, Rwanda begins sombre commemorations for the 30th anniversary of the 1994 genocide, a mass slaughter that lasted a 100 bloody days and was orchestrated by Hutu extremists against the Tutsi minority.
The genocide led to the death of more than a million people, mainly ethnic Tutsis.
Presidency Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says Ramaphosa will travel on Saturday and will be joined by International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor.
The ceremony of remembrance will take place in Kigali on Sunday.
Ramaphosa will also participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, followed by the National Commemoration ceremony, which will conclude with a Night Vigil at BK Arena in Kigali.
"Bilateral relations between South Africa and Rwanda were established in 1995, which were further strengthen through the signing of a General Cooperation Agreement in 1999.
Since the inauguration of the Joint Cooperation Commission in Pretoria on 22 June 2001, significant progress was recorded in areas such as institution and capacity building, health, and education. South African companies have also invested in Rwanda," says Magwenya.
