Today is a great day in the African calendar as it marks the birth of the Organisation of the African Unity (OAU), current day African Union (AU) This day is celebrated across the African Continent and beyond, it is a day to reflect on the progress and challenges that the Continent and individual Member States are confronted with.

The South Africa government took a decision to celebrate this important day with a month long cultural program.

South Africa is an integral part of the African continent and therefore understands its national interest as being intrinsically linked to Africa's stability, unity and prosperity. Africa month promotes Pan Africanism, platform to promote pride driven by our Africanes, of which both contributes to united efforts for decolonization and regeneration of the African continent.
