10. Ke ka ntlha yang fa Jehofa e le ene fela re ka mo ikanyang gore a re golole? In her interview above, Tax referred to the SADC mandate which is also in tantam with the Article 4 of the AU. The SADC Organ of Politics Defense and security (OPDS) which deals with political challenges in member states bordering on security, in its preamble emphasised strict respect for each member state’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. The preamble also advocated respect for good neighbourliness, interdependence, sovereign equality, political independence, non-aggression and non-interference in the internal affairs of the member states. The 1996 protocol also articulated the objectives of the Organ, which provided the framework for its operations. These objectives laid down collective security arrangements. This protocol committed the member states to abide by UN Security Council resolutions in the maintenance of peace and security within the region. They would work in close co-operation in matters relating to politics, defence and security. They committed themselves to adopt conflict resolution mechanism rather than direct intervention in the domestic affairs of member states. The Summit reaffirmed that the SADC Organ constituted an appropriate institutional framework by which SADC countries would coordinate their policies and activities in the areas of politics, defence and security.
