Africans have been quiet for so long with South Africans… but this one hurt too much to ignore.

What is really going on with South Africans 🇿🇦?
Why the hatred? Why are Nigerians and fellow Africans being attacked, killed and treated like enemies?

This is not just wickedness… it’s evil.

We shout “Africa Unite” but we’re busy tearing each other apart.
How do we expect respect from the world when we don’t respect ourselves?

An attack on one African is an attack on ALL Africans.

South African Government Must Stop this madness

If you believe in Africa, speak up. Don't be silent

Day 1 of the Commonwealth Youth Development Summit was both energising and grounding. Bringing together young leaders from across the Commonwealth, the conversations serves as a powerful reminder that youth inclusion must go beyond rhetoric.

Two quick reflections that really stayed with me:
1. Resilience is non-negotiable. Yes bureaucracy will test us as young people but persistence is part of the work, we shouldn’t stop no matter the bureaucracy!📌
2. True youth inclusion means building pathways that are institutionalised, meaning we should all strive to create pathways that outlives us, systems that cannot be easily reversed or sidelined after we leave the scene!(Remember we will all leave, respectfully)📌📌

The conversations are just getting started at the ongoing but the urgency for meaningful, accountable youth partnership is already clear.

I am looking forward to what the next sessions bring, day 1 was a great success!👏🏾👏🏾
