TBTo when I traveled the World freely on my 26th country in Africa, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼! So many people to thank, so much footage cut. I’m going to have to do a ZIM part 2! The Art scene is rich, the crafts are beautiful, the history of this country defies western agenda to hide how we heavily influenced humanity, and of course the Smoke That Thunders! The Falls, locally known as Mosi-Oa-Tunya, one of the most powerful and invigorating experience I lived! #zimbabwe #zimbabwe🇿🇼 #africa #theafricathemedianevershowsyou #travel #nature #art #africanhistory #greatzimbabwe #blackhistory #howarduniversity #blacktravelfeed #blacktravel (at Zimbabwe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WaSgGI0RL/?igshid=wr1lsdoqvea8

Moussa Faki Mahamat lauds Dr. Dlamini Zuma for championing continental agenda, as he takes over as AU Commission Chairperson

By Baboloki Semele

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The new Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat has lauded his immediate predecessor H.E. Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, for leading the process to formulate a continental vision, and for finding lasting solutions to the issue of financing the Union, amongst other things. H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat renewed his strong commitment to continued implementation of the continental vision Agenda 2063, as he delivered his maiden address after taking over from Dr. Dlamini Zuma as the AU Commission Chairperson.The official handover ceremony took place at the AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia, on 14 March 2017. During the well attended solemn ceremony, H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat outlined his priorities for the tenure of the four years.Credited with crafting Agenda 2063, his predecessor Dr. Dlamini Zuma, echoed the words of Nkwame Nkrumah that Africa now needs the courage to work hard, with determination and focus, to deliver on the aspirations of Africans. She also said that Africa must be put first at all times, and to uphold its unity and solidarity.The handover ceremony was presided by the President of Guinea, current Chairperson of the Union, H.E. Prof. Alpha Conde. It was also attended by the President of Ethiopia, Dr. Mulatu Teshome, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, the Prime Ministers of Swaziland and Algeria, H.E. Barnabas Sibusiso Dlamini and H.E. Abdelmalek Sellal, as well as the Foreign Affairs Ministers of Chad and Rwanda. Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Staff of the AU Commission and partners also attended the ceremony.Prior to the official handover, a two-day joint retreat between the outgoing and incoming Commissions took place on 10-11 March 2017 to ensure a smooth transition between the Commissions.The incoming Commission was elected by Heads of States and Governments during the 28th AU Summit on 30 January 2017, following inconclusive election results at the July 2016 Kigali Summit. The five candidates participated, for the first time, in a public debate, dubbed “MjadalaAfrika”, a platformed that enhanced public engagement and interaction, on 9 December 2016.

Top priority areas highlighted by the new AUC Chairperson

In his first public address as African Union Commission Chairperson on 14th March 2017, H.E Mr Moussa Faki Mahamat outlined his cabinet’s priorities. His top priorities included: the need to implement structural reforms, informed by Summit decisions and President Kagame’s reform report, to efficiently and effectively implement the continental vision and deliver the aspirations of the people; to silence the guns by 2020; to place the women and youth at the centre of Africa’s development agenda; to focus on intra-African trade, including accelerating free movement of goods, people and services within the continent; as well as to strengthen Africa’s voice in the global arena.The new Chairperson also committed to applying zero-tolerance towards any act that would tarnish the reputation of the Union, or erode its public confidence. He is determined to promote a culture of excellence and meritocracy.Highlights of the priorities are as follows:

To reform the structures of our Common House, to make the Commission a tool capable of translating into reality the vision of our leaders and the aspirations of our peoples. 

To silence the guns and realise an Africa free of conflicts by 2020.

To raise women and young people to their rightful place in the promotion of peace, development and the African Renaissance. 

Promote economic integration of the continent and help accelerate its development. 

Particular emphasis will be placed on increasing intra-African trade and free movement of people so that Africans finally cease to be foreigners in their own continent. 

The rehabilitation of the African private sector, which is essential for the creation of wealth and jobs, will receive sustained attention. Strengthen Africa's place on the international scene.

These priorities will be translated into sectoral and cross-sectoral programs, with specific timetables.

TBT When I traveled the World 🌍 and visited my 26th/54 country in Africa so I could see the ruins of the Great Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and it’s intricate castles in total harmony with nature. Great Zimbabwe can be traced as far as the 11th century! Like 500 years before the end of the Middle Ages. I feel every Black person on Earth should see this! This is the part of Africa that’s omitted from our history books, to make us believe the myth of European superiority and white supremacy. Zimbabwe is a crucial country to visit and to research to get a better understanding of our modern World. #zimbabwe #zimbabwe🇿🇼 #africa #greatzimbabwe #theafricathemedianevershowsyou #panafricanist #panafrican #panafricanism #architecture #history #africanhistory #blackness #castles #howarduniversity #blackpeople #blackculture #culture #culturetrip #africanculture #africancultures (at Great Zimbabwe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_D7_wCoYyG/?igshid=1uyo3tmwvzrmu

#TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou Campaign

Some individuals have seen the campaign as controversial presenting the entire continent of Africa as a single identity (and in a way a single story) by using the colours of the Ghanaian flag for representation. 

What are your thoughts on this campaign? Was it effectiveness? Did it have the ability to capture the true essence of Africa?  Submit your answer

The Medium is the Message: My project theme was Stereotypes in Africa and had designed a website layout that would inform my target audience and make them aware of the misconceptions of this beautiful continent. It is supposed to be satirical to the western world because on their media they would have loads of campaigns and advertisements about “Africa”. In my opinion I think it is very BIAS towards the Africans and can be portrayed in a negative way. At the same time making them aware I have put some of the attractions that have people coming to Africa in the first place.

But a fightback is now taking place on Twitter, with images being shared by Africans of #TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou including photos from the fashion industry to the film industry, from pristine beaches to vast university campuses, and from ancient mosques to ultra-modern hospitals.
