STORYLINE
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in South Africa on Thursday evening, as part of a seven-nation tour of the continent.
She was greeted by South African officials at Johannesburg international airport.
Clinton arrived from Kenya, where she met Kenya's president Mwai Kibaki and prime minister Raila Odinga, and honoured the victims of the deadly 1998 al-Qaida-linked attacks on the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Speaking to a conference on Wednesday, Clinton sharply criticised Kenya's leadership for failing to implement reforms that were part of a power-sharing deal designed to end the postelection crisis, including not yet prosecuting anyone for the violence, as well as not doing enough to tackle corruption.
Both Kibaki and Odinga, who were rivals in a bitterly contested 2007 presidential election that led to violence in which more than 1,000 people were killed, were in the audience when Clinton made the comments.
On Thursday in Nairobi, she met beleaguered Somali President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed at the US embassy and pledged to expand American support for Somalia's weak interim government and threatened sanctions against neighbouring Eritrea for aiding an extremist group she says is trying to launch worldwide militant attacks from Somalia.
South Africa is Clinton's second leg of a seven-nation tour of Africa. From South Africa, Clinton will travel to Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Liberia and Cape Verde.
