3.3 SADC Chairpersons
Botswana chaired the annual Summits after the formation of
SADCC in 1980 when the founding Summit was opened by
President Sir Seretse Khama, and chaired on his behalf by
then Vice President Sir Quett Ketumile Joni Masire, who
became the second President of Botswana later that year. In
July 1983, Summit took a decision to elect a Chairperson to
drive Summits and Council of Ministers meetings. Botswana
was elected by Summit under the new arrangement, to chair
meetings of the Summit and of the Council of Ministers for
the next three years, and re-elected for three-year terms in
1987, 1990 and 1993 to chair the meetings of SADCC and
its successor SADC, except for one Summit that President
Masire was unable to attend.
Starting with the 2001 Summit, the Host President was
elected Chairperson for the next year, with a Deputy who
would host the next Summit and become SADC Chairperson
for the following year. See Table 3.4.
