Southern Africa Development Community (Sadc) secretariat is looking for suitable professionals to fill various positions that have arisen within the regional bloc at its headquarters in Gaborone, Botswana. Forty-three employment opportunities have risen in various disciplines and vacancies available include directors, heads of department and officers.

Positions at SADC have a duration of four years and are renewable once.

In a statement yesterday, Secretary for Foreign Affairs Ambassador Joey Bimha called on qualified and experienced Zimbabweans to apply for the posts.

Ambassador Bimha said for further details on positions that Zimbabweans could apply for, the job profiles and SADC application forms, those interested should refer to the SADC website being accessed at www.sadc.int.
