25 may Africa Day Celebrations

Pan Africanism and African Renaissance in Action

The ACTION Support Centre (ASC) and the Proudly African Campaign an the Africa Day Celebrations starting at 12:30 pm on Saturday, 25 May 2013.

The Africa Week Street Festival is a collaborative effort by civil society organisations to celebrate 50 years of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) now African Union and to acknowledge the fifth anniversary of the 2008 xenophobic attacks that devastated South Africa. The event seeks to give an opportunity to all Africans, including those in the African Diaspora, to engage one another in an honest debate about the challenges we face and the future we seek for ourselves.

The ASC and the Proudly African Campaign will be hosting one of the five stages at Corner Kenmere and Hunter Streets during the festival celebrations. We will be filling our stage with a number of African solidarity-focused performances and addresses in the spirit of celebrating multi-culturalism, promoting social cohesion and championing human and peoples rights.

The venue for all the celebrations will be Rocky- Raleigh Street in Yeoville-Bellevue, the Pan-African destination of South Africa.
