Fellow Africans, the ball is in our court to create good inter-tribal narratives, then pull together in creating a shared African narrative while celebrating Africanism all year, writes Malesela Maubane.

Africa month this year is celebrated in the midst of the global Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. This will also be the case for Africa Day on May 25, which is the commemoration of the 1963 founding of the Organisation of African Unity, now known as the African Union .

Unity will not make us rich, but it can make it difficult for Africa and the African peoples to be disregarded and humiliated.I got to learn some standard grade Tshivenda in the mid-90s, thanks to my three classmates at the erstwhile Technikon Northern Gauteng in Soshanguve. This is where I also picked up a combination of SiSwati, isiZulu and isiXhosa.

According to Ngaka Modiri Molema in the book The Bantu past and present: An Ethnographic and historical study of the Native races of South Africa, Tabane’s ancestry can be traced back to Mokgatla, after which the Bakgatla tribe is named and is a descendant of Mohurutshe. Goat meat was never in short supply after soccer matches with Zimbabwean brothers around the Beitbridge area.

During the stay in Maputo and Matola, it was evident that the country was still picking up the pieces in the wake of the brutal civil war and the recurrent floods over the years. The violence in Cabo Delgado province, northern Mozambique, is unfortunate and opposite to AU’s 2020 theme of silencing of guns.

In the company of the then Zambian High Commissioner to South Africa, we announced our arrival by paying a courtesy visit to the mayor of Livingstone, as is customary for African folks. An amazing hospitality experience was awaiting us on the banks of the Zambezi river.
