*Legacy*

The legacy of leadership left behind by the SADC founding leaders is mixed. Some leaders, like Mugabe, while being credited for advancing the interest of Africans in education and land ownership, are criticised for leading extremely corrupt governments and failing to navigate international power dynamics.

Mugabe left power unceremoniously in a coup executed by the military and apparently co-planned by his then ousted deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa. It was President Mnangagwa this week who handed over the medal of honour to Mugabe’s widow, Grace Mugabe.

SADC as a regional bloc also has also had limited success in integrating it’s members states to allow for freer movement and trade. In South Africa, for example, immigrants from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique are increasingly viewed undesiresables even by senior members of key political parties ANC.

Africans in SADC Bloc also still require passports to enter the member countries and cannot freely work or establish businesses without first attaining work or business permits, which are generally hard to get.
