Leaders of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), including Namibia's President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, are holding a Virtual Extraordinary Summit of SADC Heads of State and Government to elect an interim chairperson of the regional grouping.

Namibia will continue to prioritise the work of SADC, an institution mandated to advance regional integration.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah reaffirmed this commitment during a courtesy visit by SADC Executive Secretary Elias Magosi at State House.

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has launched its Communication, Awareness and Visibility Strategy for 2025–2030 in Gaborone, Botswana, today.

A SABA delegation met with SADC Executive Secretary Elias Magosi at the SADC Secretariat in Gaborone, Botswana.

Health and Social Services Minister Dr. Esperance Luvindao confirmed a second case of Mpox at Swakopmund. 

The SADC Secretariat has been directed to engage strategic partners, such as the Indian Ocean Commission, the African Union, and the United Nations, over the political and security crisis in Madagascar. 

These engagements are to ensure coordinated and complementary interventions. 

The SADC Organ on Politics, Defence, and Security Cooperation says the region deeply regrets the loss of life, injuries, and property destruction resulting from the demonstrations in Madagascar.

Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Selma Ashipala-Musavyi briefed Parliament on the political unrest in Madagascar, where the military has taken control following the impeachment of President Andry Rajoelina. 

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says it is regrettable that recent developments in Madagascar appear to betray the very principles SADC reaffirmed two months ago during the 45th Ordinary Summit, which was held in that country.

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Esperance Luvindao, has stated that Namibia's public health workers are the second-highest paid in the SADC region.
