Old allies in the human rights struggle, former president Nelson Mandela and United States civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, rekindled their acquaintance at talks in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

"I am delighted to meet Mandela again," said Jackson, who corresponded with Mandela while he was in prison under the apartheid regime. <snip>

Jackson visited an HIV and Aids project on Tuesday and met with ousted Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide, living in South Africa.

"I know him and have a high regard for him. I recognise him as the twice democratically elected leader of Haiti. He survived exile and has been driven into exile by the US," said Jackson. <snip>
