On Nelson Mandela Day, we commemorate the legacy of a man whose unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and freedom continues to inspire. Reflecting on Madiba’s memory, we are reminded that the long walk to freedom he began is ongoing, requiring our collective action, resilience, and dedication to his principles. The United Africa Royal Assembly recently congratulated President Cyril Ramaphosa on his re-election, celebrating his formation of a government committed to non-racialism, non-sexism, and justice. Mandela’s words, “After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb,” resonate as we face socio-political challenges across Africa. The United Africa Royal Assembly stands ready to support this journey by enhancing traditional leadership’s role in tackling poverty, unemployment, and inequality, continuing Mandela’s legacy through collaboration with governments and stakeholders to make freedom, justice, and equality lived realities for all Africans.
