The African Renaissance
The words 'African Renaissance' is so commonly used by South African President Thabo Mbeki, but what exactly does 'African Renaissance' mean?
President Mbeki sees 'African
Renaissance' as a revival for the African continent and an opportunity for
Africans to free and empower themselves against the legacy of colonialism and
neo-colonialism. The hope is that this Renaissance will empower Africa to
help the world rediscover the oneness of the human race, after all, Africa was
the origin of humanity.
'African Renaissance seeks unity in diversity, a move towards a rebirth of all who value the rediscovery of ourselves.'
