Disarmament experts from South Africa are on their way to Iraq to explain how they disposed of their weapons of mass destruction at the end of apartheid.
The group is being sent by the President, Thabo Mbeki.
The mission includes nuclear experts and a chemical-biological weapons specialist who served under the former apartheid regime.
It is being led by the Deputy Foreign Minister, Aziz Pahad, who visited Baghdad earlier this month to urge Saddam Hussein to cooperate fully with UN inspections.
