A delegation from South Africa has arrived in the Central African Republic (CAR) to hold talks with Haiti's exiled President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

South Africa has said it would consider giving asylum to Mr Aristide, who has been in CAR since 1 March.

He has claimed that troops sent by the US and France kidnapped him and forced him to leave Haiti.

His legal team has announced it is preparing cases against the envoys of the two countries.

The South African delegation - led by deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad - is to meet CAR leaders and Mr Aristide to discuss his plans for permanent asylum, AP news agency reported, citing CAR Foreign Minister Charles Wenezoui.
