I am an African speech by Thabo Mbeki



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.
