PRETORIA – Protesters have clashed with police outside the SADC Summit venue in Pretoria.

The SADC Democracy Forum is calling on South Africa to set an example in its handling of the Grace Mugabe issue.

Members are calling for decisive action, after letting Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir go.

That’s despite the ICC calling for his arrest.

They’re also calling on the DRC President Joseph Kabila to step down.

They say his continue stay in office after his term expired and without setting an election date, is against the country’s laws. 

The group says it’s disappointed SADC will not be addressing Zambia’s state of emergency.
