The SADC was started in 1992, headquartered in Botswana, and is a regional economic community comprising 15 member states from Angola, Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia to South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Note that its name refers to "Southern African" development community as opposed to "South African".
Its purposes are regional integration and poverty eradication. One of their stated integration goals is a single Southern African currency. The most northerly state in the SADC is the DR Congo, which has 70% of the world's coltan (tantalum from coltan is used in the manufacture of capacitors).
