Malawian President Joyce Banda will meet her Tanzanian counterpart, Jakaya Kikwete, in the next two days to discuss a dispute over Lake Malawi, where a British-based company is exploring for oil.

The two leaders will meet at the Southern African Development Community summit that begins today in Maputo, the Mozambican capital, Banda’s spokesman Steven Nhlane said in a phone interview from Lilongwe yesterday. SADC, as the community is known, groups 15 southern African nations.
