'SADC: Another step backwards'
by Peter Fabricius
Summary:
Was Mozambican President Guebuza being just a tad mischievous when he
congratulated Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on his political longevity at
this week's SADC summit?
Or was it just projection between sentimental constitutional democrats,
desperately seeking meaning in yet another uninspiring gathering of this
listless organisation?
The summit adopted a draft protocol on the SADC Tribunal, which 'neutered'
the court by stripping it of its real power – which is to hear complaints by
SADC citizens against their own governments.
And so, in the end, it was worse than just 'another hollow summit,' as one
newspaper headline put it. It was another step backwards for the rule of law.
