Zimbabwe in $250 000 Sadc arrears

Zimbabwe could be booted out of the SADC Parliamentary Forum for failing to pay monthly subscriptions for two years resulting in it owing a total of $250 000.

A report derived from minutes of the 36th session of the SADC Parliamentary Forum plenary assembly seen by this paper indicates that members' states have lost patience with Zimbabwe and other countries who are defaulting on subscription payments.

The event was held in Victoria Falls two weeks ago.

Zimbabwe, one of the four countries that have failed to pay their contribution, owes the organ above $250 000, others are DRC, Mozambique and Malawi.
