The Workshop organised by Linking Solidarity in 2003 in order to explore the possibilities for an African network stimulated the Southern African organisations in getting together more and also to look for a possibility of founding a special Southern African network. Polly Dewhirst gives an update on the latest developments in the Southern African countries, where a new task team made significant strides in raising awareness about disappearances and placing the ongoing needs for investigations and exhumations high on the national agenda.
