PROGRAM

Africa Week celebrates and showcases Africa’s continuous advancements and achievements with respect to social, economic, political and environmental development.

Mayor Herman Mashaba

Executive Mayor

Africa Day affords us an opportunity to celebrate our African identity. Our country was isolated for decades from the rest of the continent due to the evil system of apartheid colonialism. We are now a full member of the African continent, and since 1994, our continent is correctly the primary focus of our foreign policy

Dr Mpho Phalatse

Social Development

We can never forget the refuge provided by many countries in the continent to South Africans who went into exile and provided material, social, political and military support. Africa Day thus provides an opportunity to celebrate that African solidarity and to continue expressing it through the ongoing support for many in the continent who are caught up in conflict
