Happy Africa Day

Today we celebrate Africa and her beauty in all aspects. Africa Day is intended to celebrate and acknowledge the successes of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU now the African Union) in the combat against colonialism and apartheid, as well as the progress that Africa has made, while contemplating upon the common challenges that the continent face in a global environment, since its creation on 25 May 1963.

On that account we look at the greatness that we've come to. Celebrating under the theme : Silencing The: Guns Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa's Development and Intensifying the Fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have a long way to go. But today we appreciate and recognise the fight that was put up by our forefathers, their tenacity in creating and maneuvering towards generational emancipation.

Here are a few things you can do today.
• Learn an African language.
• Learn about your favourite country that you would love to travel to.
• Cook your favourite African dish.
• Wear your traditional regalia.
• Listen and sing along to the greatest African musicians.

It is desideratum to recall the words of Kwame Nkrumah, " I'm not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me" and Haile Selassie, "An awareness of our past is essential to the establishment of our personality and our identity as Africans."

Happy Africa Day.

P.S! You do not need a Visa to travel Africa!
