In tralac’s latest Newsletter, we reflect on the 2026 SADC Summit and African integration architecture

“The Durban Summit in Context: Southern Africa’s Trade Footprint”

For trade policy analysts and stakeholders, the structural realities of SADC serve as a baseline for any discussion on broader continental integration. Currently, 13 of the 16 SADC member states participate actively in the SADC Free Trade Area, and intra-SADC trade reached 20.2% in 2025. The ongoing consolidation of the SADC FTA happens in tandem with the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
