Johannesburg (AFP) - Lesotho's Deputy Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing told AFP he arrived in South Africa on Sunday for talks in Pretoria after a coup sent the premier fleeing the country.

"It is through the invitation of the South African president," Metsing said about the meeting, adding he did not have information about the agenda nor who else would attend.
