Celebrating the Journey of African Unity

Africa Day

As time went on, the OAU became the African Union because of the increasingly economic, rather than political, nature of the challenges faced by the continent.

Limpopo is an Integral part of South Africa, as much as it is of the African Continent.

Limpopo Province, the heartland of Southern Africa, is also known as the gateway to Africa due to its strategic location on the Great North Road to Zimbabwe, its links to the port of Maputo in Mozambique via the Phalaborwa Spatial Development initiative and Maputo corridor as well as its proximity to the Republic of Botswana.

In light of Africa Day, the Limpopo Province is working towards:

• Optimising the economic opportunities that exist between the province of Matebeleland and the City of Bulawayo (Zimbabwe), the province of Gaza (Mozambique) and the four regions (Oshana, Ohangwena, Omosati, Oshikoto) of Namibia; and facilitating the development of the Limpopo Spatial Development Initiative.

• Pursuing excellence in governance that would command investor confidence and attract investment.

• Promoting and encourage social and

cultural development.

• Facilitating the development of

resources.

• Promoting the province as a unique ecotourism destination with special reference to the emerging Transfrontier conversation area.

South Africa, and Africa as a whole, has made great strides towards overcoming oppression and building a better future for the continent. This Africa Day, do your part in bettering the world around you.
