Through its SADC mandated Facilitation, the South African government is constantly engaging the parties signatory to the Global Political Agreement on a number of political and social issues, including human rights. Most recently, the three political parties in the Inclusive Government staged a joint anti-political violence indaba committing themselves to stopping inter-party violence in the run up to elections.
