I wish to inform the Honourable Member that a final report regarding the
study on the Review of the Role, Responsibility and Terms of Reference
(the Review) of the SADC Tribunal was presented to the Ministers of
Justice/Attorneys-General on 14 and 15 April 2011. Â From 21 to 25
February 2011, the SADC Secretariat convened a Workshop of SADC Senior
Legal Officials. The purpose of the workshop was to consider the draft
report on the Review. Â Furthermore, I would like to advise the
Honourable Member that there was never any meeting scheduled for 17
February 2011 to discuss the draft report.
The SADC Heads of State/Government will decide on whether the report will
be published.
