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."
He was speaking at a media briefing at the SADC Secretariat ahead of the forthcoming SADC Heads of State Summit to be held in Lusaka, Zambia, later this month.
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.
