Welcome to the month of June. In South Africa, June is Youth month. During this month, we honour our brave young people who took to the streets to protest against the apartheid government’s decision to introduce Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools. The protests were met with brutal force from the police, resulting in the deaths of many young people. The significance of Youth Month is to acknowledge the role that these young students played in the struggle for freedom and to celebrate their contribution to the development of the South Africa we have come to live in and enjoy. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the challenges that young people face today, including high rates of unemployment and poverty. June 16 is a very important day in our history and we continue to invite the world to come to our country to learn about this and other historic events that make our country’s history and heritage so rich. The month is marked by various activities, such as educational events, cultural performances, and community service initiatives, aimed at empowering and inspiring young people to become active citizens and leaders in their communities.

Happy Africa Month! #OurAfricaOurFuture On this the 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE OAU-AU, let's seize this opportunity to shape the narrative about our Africa, by sharing the story on the journey of the continent since 25 May 1963. Africa made history with the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) the precursor to the African Union (AU) on 25 May 1963. Africa Day is intended to celebrate and acknowledge the successes of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU now the AU) from its creation on May 25, 1963, in the fight against colonialism and apartheid, as well as the progress that Africa has made while reflecting upon the common challenges that the continent faces in a global environment. The annual commemoration of Africa Day marks the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963.
