SADC Chief Says Political Climate Is Stable

Despite instability in three of the 14 Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states, executive secretary Tomaz Salomao says the political climate in the region remains stable. However, Salomao acknowledges that the region is faced with the challenges of high inflation, skewed distribution of resources, and poverty, even though most members are showing signs of economic growth.

Playing down instability in Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Dr Salomao said:" The overall political and security situation in the SADC region remains stable and is expected to remain the same."

Salomao said the regional body responded to the challenges in the three countries accordingly through the extraordinary summit held in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, which directed several of its organs and the Secretariat to assess the situation in Maseru, Harare and Kinshasa.
