He was speaking at the Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of State and Government in Harare Zimbabwe.

Magosi has condemned violations of the ceasefire.

He’s also urged member states in southern Africa to maintain their commitment to the regional mission in the DRC.

“The reported violations of the ceasefire by some parties to the agreement are worrisome and should be treated with the contempt they deserve. We had hoped that the ceasefire would create an opportunity for progress, enable and enhance solution-based dialogue between the parties and facilitate seamless flow of humanitarian support to those who are at the receiving end of the armed conflict. We reiterate the call for all parties to observe all the stated obligations of the ceasefire,” says Magosi.

The SADC extraordinary summit of Heads of State and Government has kicked off in Zimbabwe, Harare.

It’s focusing on peace and security in the regional bloc especially in the eastern DRC, where the regional mission has been deployed to deal with instability.

SADC leaders have also looked at the recent elections in Botswana, Mozambique and Mauritius.

Recently, Mozambique has seen a wave of protests due to the disputed election results.

Magosi says it has been a busy period for the region.

“The month of October and November 2024 have been a very busy period in the calendar of SADC. With three elections undertaken in this very short time in the Republics of Mozambique, Botswana and Mauritius and proceeding to the Republic of Namibia for the elections scheduled on the 27th of this very month. Through the SADC Electoral Observation Missions, SADC has continued to ensure that the elections in the region are held in line with the SADC principles and guidelines governing democratic elections,” says Magosi.
