Burundi's government will not take revenge against those involved in last week's failed coup, the BBC quoted President Pierre Nkurunziza's office as saying on Tuesday.

Those implicated would be brought to justice in accordance with the rule of law, it added in a statement.

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has called for Burundi's presidential election to be indefinitely postponed.

Protests are continuing in the capital, Bujumbura, against Mr Nkurunziza's third-term bid.
