Finance Minister Yoram Aridor will ask South Africa for more economic aid when he visits Pretoria this week. He will also reportedly ask that South Africa lift the taxes, at least partially, on goods imported from Israel. South Africa imposed those taxes about a year ago. Aridor is also expected to request the expansion of fishing rights for Israeli boats in South African waters. Most of the issues to be discussed are part of existing agreements which Israel and South Africa signed five years ago.
