Abstract
The United Kingdom (UK) is one of the largest Member states within the European Union
(EU) that receive export goods from developing countries. The UK has successfully voted to
exit the EU through a referendum and this may impact the already existing developing
countries’ markets that depend on their exports to the UK. On the one hand, the UK has
promised that it intends on maintaining the existing trade agreements with most of its trade
partners including the Southern African Development Community (SADC)-EU Economic
Partnership Agreements (EPA). On the other hand, the UK is concerned of its independence
from the EU and at this point in time, it can only be anticipated that, agreements if any, relating
to Brexit will only suffice once the entire exiting process has been completed.
