Orijin’s Memorable message from the great event:
“In our minds all of us when we leave this hall, we need to continue to preach the message that Africa is a continent. It is so unfortunate that to this day, in a lot of peoples minds Africa is a Country. But I can also appreciate the fact that in the United States, you look at those divisions between the States and you just transpose it to Africa and say because Africa is all these lines and United States these lines it means it is one. The powerful message however of looking at Africa as one is the solidarity; because that solidarity is important for trade, its important for us as a people…. How many of us were taught by history that Africa is the dark continent. Today that we know better, you wonder a continent so rich in minerals, in people, in cultures, in beauty, in tourism, how could anyone ever have said it was a dark continent?” – Honorable Tebelelo Seretse(Botswana Ambassador to the US)
