The Southern African Development Community (SADC) member countries are currently in talks about a single tourist visa and will hopefully come to a conclusion at the SADC ministerial meeting slated for June 2011 (13 - 17 June) in Lusaka, Zambia. The ministerial meeting is expected to evolve a "grand action plan" that will lead to the establishment of the SADC single tourists’ visa.
SADC member countries are Tanzania, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Zambia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.
The single southern Africa will help the citizens of countries such as Tanzania, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Zambia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe to have just one visa for all purposes when traveling to other countries of the group. Thus, the single southern African visa will come up a lot of hassle for getting varied visa would be reduced significantly.
