Ties with India will not be hit, says Pahad

By M. S. Prabhakara

CAPE TOWN, APRIL 10. The South African Deputy Foreign Minister, Mr. Aziz Pahad, today said the relations between India and South Africa run very deep and would not be affected by the recent controversy over the allegations of match-fixing against leading members of the South African cricket team.

Mr. Pahad earlier met the Indian High Commissioner, Mr. Harsh Bhasin, at the Union Buildings.

The 40-minute meeting between them, the first official level meeting between the two countries here since the match-fixing case broke, was described by an official of the High Commission as ``very cordial, open and friendly''.
