The government of Lesotho says the issue of migration affects the whole Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit. region. It says if one country in particular, South Africa (SA), is experiencing a movement of people, others will be affected.
This came out at the SADC summit currently underway in Durban.
Lesotho’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Limpho Tau, says the summit should thoroughly discuss the matter of migration.
“Even at the summit itself, SA will actually get an opportunity to lay out its perspective when it comes to migration. So we really appreciate that, and we are happy SA has an opportunity based on that. We are happy that it actually tabled it. We are happy that we can even consult and engage on the issue of migration not only as SA but also as a region because we deem it a collective responsibility for us.”
