Regional Summit

S AFRICA: Heads of state from the Southern African Development Community met Monday in the Namibian Capital for a two-day summit to discuss regional integration and the political progress in Zimbabwe.

The annual summit, which marks the 30th anniversary of the 15-nation regional bloc, has been billed as a “jubilee”, but the celebrations take place amid criticism over SADC’s struggles to assert itself as a political force in the region.
