SADC Summit Speech by President Emmerson Mnangagwa
“I am honoured to address the 45th Ordinary Summit of SADC Heads of State and Government, graciously convened under the esteemed leadership of my Dear Brother, His Excellency Rajoelina, President of the Republic of Madagascar, and incoming Chairperson of SADC.

May I express profound gratitude to you, Your Excellency and through you, to the Government and people of the Republic of Madagascar, for the warm hospitality extended to me and my delegation since our arrival.

Our presence here attests to the enduring solidarity that unites us in our quest for a peaceful, inclusive, modern and industrialised region, where citizens enjoy sustainable economic development, justice and freedom.

Your Majesty, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen; this year, we sadly lost one of our Founding Fathers, a revolutionary, His Excellency Dr Samuel Nujoma, former President of the Republic of Namibia.

We also lost a revered Statesman, His Excellency Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, former President of the Republic of Zambia.

May their enduring legacies bring solace and inspiration to their families and the SADC region. 🔗
