Six days ahead of the burial of former South African President, Nelson Mandela, President Goodluck Jonathan is set to leave for South Africa.

A Sunday tweet by Reno Omokri, special assistant to the president on new media, said the president will travel today.

Omokri tweeted, "President Jonathan leaves Abuja for South Africa tomorrow to join other world leaders in ceremonies leading up to Nelson Mandela's burial.

The President will be accompanied by the Supervising Minister of Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri. It is however unknown how large the Nigerian contingent will be.

President Jonathan is known to travel with very large contingents on foreign trips.
