The 44th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads State and Government will be held on 17 August 2024 in Harare, Zimbabwe under the theme: “Promoting Innovation to unlock opportunities for sustained economic growth and development towards an Industrialised SADC”. South Africa’s government has dismissed calls by the DA for this week’s SADC summit to be moved from Zimbabwe because the Harare government abused its political opponents. President Cyril Ramaphosa, accompanied by International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola, would be attending the summit.

GUEST: Hopewell Chin’ono, Zimbabwean Journalist and documentary filmmaker
