O Fórum Parlamentar da SADC (FP SADC) vem, por este meio, prestar a sua homenagem a Michel Mweza - intérprete de francês no Secretariado e prezado funcionário do quadro do Fórum - cujo repentino falecimento a todos trouxe comoção e tristeza.
Michel era animado de um carácter alegre e de uma personalidade revestida de cativante à vontade. Uma pessoa que de certo modo surgia como raio de luz emanando boa disposição, com a particular habilidade de incutir ânimo nos seus colegas e noutros funcionários. O seu trabalho era apreciado pela sua qualidade; o que é também certo é que as suas ideias eram brilhantes. Como cidadão da República Democrática do Congo Michel Mweza transmitia um sentimento de patriotismo que o fazia representar as cores do seu país dignamente, no estrangeiro e na Região da SADC
