File Picture: Information Ministry Zimbabwe /XDeputy President Paul Mashatile is on Wednesday representing President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Extraordinary Meeting of SADC heads of State and government in Harare, Zimbabwe .
“South Africa, through its participation and contribution to the SADC Mission in the DRC, continues to play an important role in efforts to bring about peace and security in the SADC region,” said Mashatile’s acting spokesperson Keith Khoza. Political violence which erupted in Mozambique is set to dominate the regional bloc’s meeting in Harare, after Maputo and other regions experienced post-election fallout which was also felt by other countries in the region.
Violent protests resulted in the busy Lebombo port of entry bordering South Africa and Mozambique being temporarily closed, on different occasions, as Mozambican port officials fled into South Africa, fleeing violence. Others were not as fortunate as they attempted to get to the Lebombo border post, the main crossing between Mozambique and South Africa, as their vehicles were pelted with all manner of projectiles.
