AFRICAN UNITY DEMONSTRATED


Building up to the month of May, officially Africa Month, we embark on a virtual campaign inviting singing groups to raise their voices and fill our hearts! 

A fun campaign that aims represent the cultural and creative industries of Africa united on an enabling project to meet the projected vision of unity demonstrated.

This is a production series, showcasing Africa’s new generation raising their voices in solidarity to each other’s struggles. Each year Campaign Africa will selected a relevant theme song to serve as a unifier.

Wade in the Waters, The Spirituals [Live]

Wade In The Water, as a theme song, selected itself really. Due to our common current situations this historic spiritual hymn, whose message carries hope beyond the African in America, but Africans globally, lends itself to be most appropriate.

The best from the entries we receive in the next four weeks, will be challenged to this version of Wade in the Water and encouraged to give it their own flair. Soon we will have ourselves components of an All Africa Choir who will ready to raise their voices and together we will start Africa month in full swing!

Wading through global waters!

Coming out of difficult economies we were all plunged into a global lockdown which presented challenges of varied degrees, some evident and some psychological challenges as well. While still wading through those muddy waters; Africa’s children in eastern Europe currently find their troubles amplified by racial segregation in the middle of hateful chaos.
I can’t imagine the trauma but we are conscious enough to know that they, like us, are in need of moral support, some assurance that together we wade in the water.

Through this campaign of intentional connectivity we remind ourselves that our spirit is connected to each other and our Motherland.

We dey wade!

It’s a mutation of the same sickness that seeks to occupy and subdue our beloved continent. Every time Africa’s children manage a measurable revolt , a task force is deployed by the oppressive power mongers to stage a Kansas City shuffle , which is an advanced form of bait-and-switch confidence game employing misdirection, subterfuge, and playing on the African’s arrogance and self-loathing. African leaders continue to be duped into abandoning the fight for liberation, instead giving away our natural resource s in exchange for shiny trinkets and money printing machines.  How can we be so deluded? Worse still is that our pride won’t let us admit the glaring truth that the leadership is infested with junkies harbouring parasites that eat away at their cerebrum. This gives the ...

Integration Post-Apartheid

"History was thus made on 9 January, 1991, when the integration of public schools was initiated through the admission of black students to thirty-three formerly all-white schools. The first steps to integration were begun in the former Transvaal Province, and was soon undertaken throughout the country . "  - saha.org.za It was four weeks before my fourteenth birthday when South Africa had its first democratic elections in 1994. We were three years into the integration program that opened up interracial mixing at schools. Apart from expensive private schools, government schools were segregated up until January 1991. I am surprised and disappointed that our storytellers have not scripted a movie or a TV series that captures this very dynamic/funny/challenging time in our history. The content over this period, away from the political unrest and negotiations that brought us to the national elections of '94, from the corridors of previously white schools, were African kids det...
