Southern Africa: Two Days, And Lots of Problems

A call has been made for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to involve civil society in its decision-making process -- in deed, as well as in word. This comes ahead of the annual SADC summit for heads of state and government that gets underway Thursday (August 16) in Lesotho's capital, Maseru. The constitution of the 14-member grouping provides for the inclusion of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the process.
