In
celebration of Africa Day, I share this recital by South African former
President, Thabo Mbeki.
My
dream for Africa is that it would one day only be known for its beauty and
resilience and not for poverty and many social ills. I dream that one day this
continent will be a land of abundance and opportunity where dreams will be
realised and possibilities would be endless. I dream that all shall live
in peace and that there will be acceptance between tribes, cultures, races and religions.
Martin
Luther King proclaimed "I have a dream" and his dream became a
reality, such is the power of words. I have many dreams for my Africa and
if I continuously proclaim them, they too shall be realised and generations to
come will proudly confess that “it feels good to be an African”.
Nkosi
Sikelela I-Africa. God Bless Africa.
