The reason for this Summit is to discuss the security system in Mozambique. This concern arouse from the acts of terrorism perpetrated against innocent civilians, women and children in some districts of Cabo Delgado Province of Mozambique. SADC leaders are using this to affirm their commitment to contribute towards bringing lasting peace and security to the region.

South African president, Ramaphosa will be standing in front of the Zondo Commission to give testimony to the corruption and mass looting that took place during the period he was Vice President under Zuma. As a result he could not be in attendance and this was one of the reasons that facilitated the need to postpone the meeting. Ramaphosa is the incoming Chairperson for this meeting.

Another reason for the Summit date being pushed back is the absence of the Chairperson, His Excellency President Mokgweesti Eric Keabetswe. As the meeting could not take place without this two key figures it was inevitably moved to a later date.
