Africa Day, celebrated annually on May 25, is a colourful occasion to honour the African continent’s rich history, diverse cultures, and incredible achievements.

It’s a day to reflect on the bonds of unity and progress shared by the 54 vibrant nations of Africa.

Africa Day commemorates the historic day in 1963 when 32 African nations came together to form the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). This organisation, later transformed into the African Union (AU) in 2002, symbolised a significant step towards continental unity and collaboration.

Today, Africa Day serves as a reminder of the shared aspirations for peace, development, and a brighter future for all Africans.

Our cultures, traditions, languages and diversity are what make the continent truly unique.
