International relation ministry said that they will abide by SADC’s position with regards to the current situation in Zimbabwe.
In a statement issued and signed by the ministry’s acting executive secretary, Rebecca Iyambo, the ministry’s position is that Namibia respects the established SADC institutions, including the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation, which is mandated with the authority to make decisions and make recommendations to the SADC Summit on matters pertaining to peace and security in the region.
“Namibia will respect and abide by those SADC protocols”
Iyambo further stated that the ministry received enquiries from several local media and some members of the public requesting the reaction of the Government of the Republic of Namibia on the security situation in the Republic of Zimbabwe.
“Within SADC we have mechanisms in place established to deal with issues affecting members states in between Summits, such as regional integration, economic development, and peace and security among others,” the acting executive wrote.
