Burundi’s foreign minister said one of his country’s diplomats had been expelled from South Africa, though the reason was not immediately clear. The move comes after SA and Rwanda issued tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions on Friday amid a row over the attempted assassination of an exiled Rwandan general in Johannesburg. “South Africa has expelled Jean-Claude Sindayigaya, the first secretary of the embassy of Burundi,” Foreign Minister Laurent Kavakure said. “We don’t yet know the motive behind this decision.” A South African official confirmed the expulsion of the Burundian diplomat but declined to give details. Sindayigaya left South Africa on Friday, Kavakure said.
