| Abstract: |
A Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) “Council of Ministers” meeting would be held in Windhoek, Namibia, this month in an effort to resolve the current discord and division over the best way to proceed with economic partnership agreement (EPA) negotiations with the European Union (EU). Relations between the so-called “SACD-EPA” group, comprising Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland, Mozambique, Angola and South Africa, could be a particular point of strain. This, owing to the fact that Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique moved ahead in early June to sign “interim EPAs” with the EU, notwithstanding South Africa’s objections. |
