Pan Afrikan Greetings Sons and daughters of Afrika. The Liberation of South Afrika was waged by the formation of OAU in 1958, and respectively 1963. The OAU liberation committe aided the South African Liberation Movements yet we fail to declare this day a public holiday. Our public diplomacy unit in our foreign ministry and arts and culture are hosting gala dinners and lectures after lecture yet the ordinary South African does not even understand the meaning and significance of this month and day. Let keep the hope and vision of Afrika alive. Afrika Unite for the sake of your children and elders. Uhuru na umoja.
