INFORMATION CIRCULAR
1. Introduction
The information contained in this document is meant to guide all delegates to the 49th SADC Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF) Plenary Assembly which will be held virtually from 25th to 27th June, 2021.
The Parliament of Botswana is honoured to host the 49th Plenary Assembly of the SADC PF and would like to extend its warm welcome to all the delegates and officers.
The SADC Parliamentary Forum would like to pay tribute to Michel Mweza, a French interpreter at the Secretariat - who was a valued staff member of the Forum and whose sudden demise has left everybody in shock and sorrow.
Michel was a cheerful character with a strong but easy-going personality. He was a ray of light that beamed positive vibes and had the ability to be a mood changer for his co-workers and other staff. His work was commendable and his ideas were brilliant. As a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo, he exuded a sense of patriotism and honourably represented the colours of his country abroad and across the SADC region.
