About the Council

Who We Are

A regional council — not a regulator, not a competitor to its members — uniting CX associations and professional training institutes from across the SADC region.

Overview

One regional council for Southern Africa's CX community

SACXC is headquartered in Gaborone, Botswana, in the same city as the SADC Secretariat — positioned to engage regional institutions directly while remaining accountable to, and governed by, its own membership.

Our Vision

A Southern Africa where every customer, in every SADC market, experiences service built on shared, professionally governed standards of CX excellence — and where Customer Experience is recognized and valued as a profession across the region.

Our Mission

To unite Southern Africa’s national CX associations and professional training institutes under one regional standard of excellence: coordinating accreditation, advancing professional recognition, generating regional research, and giving the region’s CX community a single, credible voice within SADC and within the continental ACXCO structure.

"One Region. One Standard. One Customer Experience."
