President Cyril Ramaphosa will tomorrow, 25 May 2023, deliver the keynote address at the national Africa Day celebrations at the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng.

Africa Day commemorates the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) 60 years ago, and its transformation 20 years ago into the African Union (AU).
