Wonderful to join my brother, President Cyril Ramaphosa, and fellow SADC Heads of State and Government at the welcome dinner in Durban last night.

As South Africa assumes the SADC Chairmanship, Zimbabwe remains deeply committed to our shared regional goals. We will continue working hand-in-hand with our neighbours to drive resilient, sustainable industrialisation through infrastructure growth, agriculture, and critical minerals transformation.

Together as a united SADC region, we are building a more prosperous and self-reliant Africa.
