SACU and SADC --- Agree, with that Simataa. All SACU member states are founding members of the WTO, and they also belong to the SADC. The foundation of SACU was based on colonialist principles. SADC, on the other hand, was established with the political goal of frontline states weaning themselves off of apartheid South Africa. Both SADC and SACU's regional integration initiatives are said to be at odds, particularly as SADC moves closer to deeper levels of integration, many governments are now debating whether SACU should be phased out in favour of SADC.
