Ghana’s President John Mahama has assured President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah that the ideals of total emancipation of the African continent remain central to Ghana’s vision, as articulated by the country’s founding leader, Kwame Nkrumah.

Renowned Kenyan author Ngugi wa Thiong'o has died at the age of 87.

His daughter, Wanjiku Wa Ngugi, shared the news on Facebook on Wednesday.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says Africa Day reminds citizens of the continent’s heroes and heroines, such as Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, Sam Nujoma, and many others who founded the Organisation of African Unity in 1963, which later transformed into the African Union. 

Renowned Zambian international televangelist Nevers Mumba says the death of Namibia's Founding President represents a sad closing chapter on real Pan-Africanism.

Dr. Mumba, who also served as Zambia's Vice President, says politics will never be the same again after this great loss.
