South African politician Julius Malema voiced his apprehension regarding the sluggish progress in addressing inter-relations among Africans.
This concern was articulated during his address at the Arise Ghana event, which took place on Tuesday, January 23, at the Ghana College for Physicians and Surgeons in Accra.
In his capacity as the Commander-In-Chief of South Africa’s Economic Fighters Front (EFF), Malema utilized the platform to champion the causes of Pan-Africanism and economic emancipation.
These topics have gained significance as countries across the continent grapple with navigating a world marked by intense polarization.
Renowned for his provocative perspectives, Mr. Malema raised a thought-provoking question about why Africans persist in acknowledging physical borders as insurmountable obstacles, emphasizing the existence of a profound bond that transcends such divisions.
Encouraging a paradigm shift, Malema urged Africans to discard the deeply ingrained notion of individualism that various countries on the continent express.
Instead, he advocated for fostering a profound sense of cohesion among African nations, fostering unity beyond the limitations of physical borders. This shift in mindset, he argued, is crucial for the collective progress and strength of the continent.
