SADC-PF a regional talkshow?

Whilst still faced with numerous legal and institutional challenges, other regions, namely East Africa with the East African Legislative Assembly and West African region with the Economic Community of West African States Parliament,  are a bit ahead of SADC region in terms of some legislative authority of their regional assemblies.

The importance of a regional Parliament is to enhance regional economic and political integration through effective oversight, legislation and representation. Failure to transform SADC-PF into a regional Parliament will render it useless in the long run and or at best a regional talkshow. The transformation shouldn't be labelling it a Parliament but fundamental changes whereby states forfeit their sovereignties and allow for regional laws enacted by the regional body to take precedence over national laws for the common good of the region, for instance regional trade.
