The SADC Headquarters Building has been handed over to President Mnangagwa, who is the chairman of the regional bloc.
He received the building on behalf of the region’s Heads of State and Government.
Prior to its handover, the edifice was under management through a public-private-partnership agreement involving SADC, Bongwe Investments (Proprietary) Limited as the private party and the Botswana government as a guarantor to the arrangement.
Speaking at the hand-over ceremony this afternoon, President Mnangagwa said the building testifies the importance of collaborative efforts.
“SADC House should be an embodiment of the region’s history, culture and heritage. The building testifies the importance of collaborative efforts. I congratulate all parties involved in the public–private partnership.
President Mnangagwa went on to congratulate President Boko on his recent election victory.
“Botswana is our second home. Our two countries enjoy excellent multi-faceted relations. And the enabling environment in Botswana allows the SADC secretariat to execute the bloc’s mandate seamlessly.”
