SADC PF mulls Chief Theresa Kachindamoto Award, public lecture series

The Southern African Development Community Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF) is exploring the establishment of a ‘Chief Theresa Kachindamoto Award and Public Lecture Series’ to accelerate regional efforts to eradicate child marriage and protect the rights of children across the SADC region.

SADC PF secretary general Boemo Sekgoma on Monday revealed that the idea comes in the wake of the passing last week of Chief Theresa Kachindamoto of Malawi, the traditional leader globally acclaimed as the ‘Terminator of Child Marriages’.
