Today marks 45 years since the Southern African Development Community started its work. The group began on April 1, 1980, when leaders signed the Lusaka Declaration that created the Southern African Development Coordinating Conference. This organization later became SADC after officials signed a new treaty on August 17, 1992, in Windhoek, Namibia. The group continues to push for teamwork and growth among countries in Southern Africa.
The SADC office said it remains focused on helping people across the region. It follows something called SADC Vision 2050, which aims to create peace and fairness for everyone. This plan hopes to make the area more competitive and industrial, giving citizens better lives with more freedom. The organization brings together 16 different countries that work toward shared goals of trade and stability.
SADC runs its operations from Gaborone in Botswana. President Mnangagwa took over as the leader of the SADC last August. He has made it clear that he wants to focus on bringing economies closer together during his time in charge. Making more products locally ranks high on his list of important tasks. He also believes that keeping peace throughout the region remains essential for everyone's success.
