The People’s Summit is a gathering of Civil Society groupings from the SADC member countries, where they discuss challenges their countries are facing on the sidelines of the annual SADC Heads of States meeting.

Meeting at the Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg South Africa was ecstatic to many of the attendees to this years’ Peoples Summit. Constitutional Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s journey to democracy. The site is a former prison and military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s turbulent past and today a home to South Africa’s Constitutional Court.
