adminLiberation movements forge closer Sadc links
SOUTHERN Africa’s former liberation movements have resolved to meet on the sidelines of annual Sadc summits, a development that will see the parties return to the centre of activities of the bloc they created.
Since they started meeting in Tanzania in 2010, their meetings have been held a week before the Sadc summit and now the region’s two most important dates on the political calendar could merge as of 2012.
This was resolved at the second summit of leaders of MPLA (Angola), ANC (South Africa), Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Tanzania), Frelimo (Mozambique), Swapo (Namibia) and Zanu-PF (Zimbabwe) in Windhoek on Thursday.
