The Southern African Development Community meeting ended with recommendations on resolving the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar and Zimbabwe among other regional issues.
The works of the 32nd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), which started last Friday, closed on Saturday, in Maputo, with recommendations on resolving the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and improving the region's economic performance.
Regional leaders who convened for the SADC summit in Maputo have heaped praise on South Africa's President Jacob Zuma for his mediation to the Zimbabwean political impasse.
Perhaos someone could enlighten us as to what Zuma has actually done to
receive such praise over his Zimbabwe mediation? It wasn't him that
facilitated the GPA in the first place and to-date Mugabe has been allowed
to ignore the commitments he signed up to with impunity. It's clear that
Mugabe's only interest is power retention, and Zuma seems unwilling or
unable to hold him to his commitment.
MOZAMBICAN President Armando Guebuza has taken over the chairmanship of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) from his Angolan counterpart, Jose Eduardo dos Santos with renewed vigour to progress the regional body´s objective of sustained regional integration and to end conflict.
On Thursday night South African President Jacob Zuma briefed the SADC Troika on his latest mediation efforts in the Zimbabwe crisis, following his visit to Harare on Wednesday.
A call by Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane for African leaders to put pressure on Western countries to end their targeted sanctions against Zimbabwe was likely to make its way into the discussions of the SADC summit that opened in Maputo, Mozambique, on Friday.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) 32nd Heads of State Summit got underway in Maputo, Mozambique on Friday amid strong calls for the adoption of an all-inclusive plan to address infrastructure backlogs in the region.
ZIMBABWE'S political fallout will be discussed at this week's Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit in Maputo, Mozambique as the regional grouping pushes for a resolution of the Harare crisis ahead of the referendum and harmonised elections next year.

South African Government (Pretoria), 16 August 2012
His Excellency President Jacob Zuma has arrived in Maputo, Republic of Mozambique, where he is leading a South African delegation to the annual Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit, scheduled for 17 to 18 August 2012.
The Vice-president of the Republic, Fernando da Piedade dias dos Santos, left this Wednesday morning for Mozambique, to attend the 32nd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), set for 17-18 August.
South African Government (Pretoria), 14 August 2012
Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the media and a warm welcome to Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) weekly briefing on international developments and upcoming international engagements.
THERE is a frantic last-ditch attempt by regional activists to save the integrity and independence of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Tribunal as heads of state and government meet this week in Maputo, Mozambique, where a final decision is expected on the regional court.
I'm not sure I understand your logic Tibanesifiso. The Tribunals role is
to allow people a chance to review legal decisions made against them within
their own boarders. The Tribunal was set up because there are
unfortunately governments in the SADC region which can't even abide by
their own laws when it doesn't suit them politically, Zimbabwe being the
most obvious example. Don't fall for the argument that it's a race issue.
It suits Mugabe and other dictators to play that card. Ever heard of a guy
named Luke Tembani? Look him up. He is one of the many black victims of
the Zimbabwe regime who seek justice.
I fully support those who say this court should be done away with. It is
also not true that this court was formed for the ordinary people of SADC.
This thing was formed for investors and beneficiaries of colonialism who
are white people to evade post colonial laws which seeks to correct past
collonial injustice suffered by the indigenous people in SADC. Tutu is
nothing to us the people of this region, he seeks to maintain the
suppremacy of the white settlers and defends the continual of this state of
affairs. It is disturbing to see that the SADC govts. were able to form
this court quickly when they have dismally failled to make any meaningful
progress in the formation of the African Union.
tibanesifiso, are you for real? What a misguided jackass!
For starters, you and all your bururus, rid yourselves from your disease
of colonial neurosis from which you have never freed yourselves. This
neurosis is the vehicle by which you use as an excuse for all your own crap
and a tool to try to get things handed to you for nothing whilst you remain
static in both your thinking and progress. Instead of running to say this
crap, educate yourself about the SADC Tribunal.
KJRS 120, FOR ONCE LISTEN TO YOUR COMMENT BEFORE YOU START OPENING YOUR BIG
MOUTH. HAVE YOU EVER GET REALIZE THE OUTCOMES OF COLONIZATION OR
CONSPIRACIES?? HAVE YOU?? THE BUCK OF WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY IN AFRICA IS
PART OF COLONIZATION. LET ME JUST GIVE YOU A SLIGHTEST EXAMPLE: WHEN PEOPLE
ARE COLONIZE; THEY ARE COLONIZE TO THE TUNE OF THE COLONIZERS - GET IT !!!
