Zimbabwean Analyst: ‘SADC a toothless regional grouping’

A Zimbabwean political analyst says the Southern African Community Development (SADC) is a toothless regional grouping that cares very little about its citizens. SADC leaders held their 44th Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government in Zimbabwe’s capital over the weekend. Rights groups had hoped that SADC would criticize Harare for its human rights record. Instead, the leaders made no mention of it in their final communique as President Emmerson Mnangagwa assumed the chairmanship. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe political analyst, tells VOA’s James Butty , the leaders proved that SADC is nothing more than a leaders’ club
