The SADC Organ on Politics, Defense, and Security says the SADC Mission in Mozambique has instituted investigations into a video clip in which soldiers are seen throwing the bodies of deceased people into a pile of burning rubble.

The video has since gone viral, sparking condemnation from different quarters of society in SADC.

The chairperson of the Organ and Namibian President Hage Geingob says the region does not condone the acts shown in the viral video.

The Chairperson of the SADC Panel of Elders, Jakaya Kikwete, will be leading missions to member states in a bid to find lasting solutions to conflicts in the region.

In New York, former Tanzanian President Kikwete met with President Hage Geingob, who is also the Chair of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defense, and Security.

The SADC countries to be visited are Lesotho, Eswatini, and Mozambique.
