100 years in 2010

Having being established in 1910 SACU will be 100 years in 2010.

The SACU Council of Ministers has noted that 2010 would be a significant year in the life of SACU, and have decided that SACU should commemorate the Centenary of the Union.

The concept for the commemoration theme is:

“Implementing a Common Agenda towards Developmental Integration in Southern Africa”.

A number of activities are planned. These include:

• The development of several publications on SACU since its existence in 1910
• Stakeholder engagement through interviews and panel discussions
• Media engagement and participation.

The Secretariat is currently engaged in preparatory work towards the Centenary Commemoration. Please forward any comments or suggestions that you may have regarding SACU’s Centenary Commemorations to feedback@sacu.int
