PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa will on Friday lead a South African delegation at the Extraordinary Double Troika Summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in Maputo, Mozambique, the Presidency has announced.
In a statement, the Presidency said the SADC Extraordinary Double Troika will discuss terrorism engulfing the region, including insecurity in the Cabo Delgado Province of Mozambique.
A recent wave of violence at the end of March 2021 saw more than 39,000 people flee the district of Palma, most of whom are accommodated in the local community or in transit centres and sites for IDPs.
Thousands more are still trapped in Palma or are still in flight.
Among those newly displaced, more than 70% are women and children.
Ramaphosa will be accompanied by Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Dr. Naledi Pandor, Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, and Minister of State Security Ayanda Dlodlo.
