Floyd Shivambu, the Deputy President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, will be joined by Nathi Nhleko, former Minister of Police, to speak at an event in Tembisa on May 25th, in celebration of Africa Day. The event is set to focus on promoting unity among African countries and their people, and encouraging a sense of pride in being African.
Africa Day, also known as Africa Liberation Day, is an annual commemoration of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which has now been replaced by the African Union (AU). It is a day to celebrate African unity and to promote the continent’s cultural and economic potential.
Shivambu and Nhleko, both prominent political figures in South Africa, will be addressing the community of Tembisa, a township in the City of Ekurhuleni, to emphasize the importance of unity among African nations. They will also discuss the current political and economic climate in Africa and the role that South Africa can play in promoting peace and development on the continent.
The event, organized by the EFF, is expected to draw a large crowd, including members of the community, political leaders, and representatives from various African countries. It will be held at the Rabasotho Hall in Tembisa, and will feature cultural performances, guest speakers, and a panel discussion on the theme of African unity.
In a statement released by the EFF, Shivambu expressed the need for Africans to come together and work towards a common goal of economic and political stability. He also highlighted the significance of Africa Day in promoting a sense of pride and unity among African people.
“Our continent is faced with numerous challenges, including poverty, inequality, and political instability. It is only through unity and cooperation that we can overcome these obstacles and build a better future for all Africans,” Shivambu said.
Nathi Nhleko, who is known for his activism and involvement in the struggle against apartheid, will be sharing his experiences and insights on the importance of pan-Africanism and the need for African countries to work together towards a common goal. He will also touch on the role of South Africa in promoting peace and development on the continent.
The event in Tembisa is just one of many celebrations taking place across Africa to mark Africa Day. In South Africa, the day will also be commemorated with various cultural and educational activities, including music concerts, art exhibitions, and seminars.
As we celebrate Africa Day, let us remember the sacrifices made by our forefathers in the fight against colonialism and apartheid. Let us also reflect on the progress made by the continent and the work that still needs to be done to ensure a prosperous and united Africa.
The event in Tembisa is a call to action for all Africans to unite and work together towards a brighter future. It is a reminder that despite our differences, we are all one people, with a shared history and a common destiny.
So let us join Floyd Shivambu and Nathi Nhleko in celebrating Africa Day and promoting unity among African nations. Let us embrace our diversity and use it to build a stronger, more united Africa. After all, as the saying goes, “Unity is strength, and when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” Together, we can create a better Africa for all.
