Durban motorists warned of road closures ahead of SADC summit
Some roads will be closed to accommodate visiting dignitaries.
Motorists in Durban are being cautioned about potential road closures and traffic disruptions over the weekend, as the 46th SADC Summit takes place at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre Complex. Authorities are urging football fans traveling to Kings Park Stadium for the match between Chippa United and Orlando Pirates to leave early.
Certain roads will be closed to facilitate the arrival of visiting dignitaries, so drivers are advised to adhere to law enforcement directives and plan their journeys in advance.
Dr. George Chaponda, who will assume the role of chair for the SADC Troika on Politics, Defence, and Security, emphasizes the importance of dialogue and unity in addressing regional security concerns. As Malawi's Foreign Affairs Minister, Chaponda highlights the significance of ministerial discussions in tackling the challenges faced by the SADC region.
He underscores the importance of coordinated African-led responses that respect sovereignty, socialism, the rule of law, and the well-being of citizens. The SADC summit, currently underway in Durban, aims to tackle these issues and foster collaboration among member states.
