President Hage Geingob is concerned about the future of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), as it appears to be at a standstill with tariffs affecting development.

Dr. Geingob pointed out that Namibia is like a beggar, something that has to be earnestly discussed.

The member states of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) are set to review the implementation of the Strategic Plan for 2022–2027.

Currently, the SACU Council of Ministers is meeting in Eswatini.

Namibia hopes to increase its contributions to the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) pool and, in return, increase its revenue share.

This follows the extension of the operating hours at the Trans-Kalahari/Mamuno Border Post in the Omaheke Region.

41 African countries have now submitted their tariffs to the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat (AfCFTA) .

Namibia and four other members of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) submitted as a group and notified the AU summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
