🇳🇦 REFLECTING ON DR. SAM NUJOMA

It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we learn the news of the passing of His Excellency Dr. Sam Nujoma, a towering figure in our continent’s struggle for liberation and nation-building.

Dr. Nujoma’s leadership not only guided from the shackles of colonial oppression to the dawn of independence, but also inspired countless Africans to believe in the promise of freedom and self-determination.

In the spirit of remembrance and solidarity, I am attaching a photo (📸 source credit: ) that powerfully captures a moment of unity among Africa’s trailblazers.
In this image, Dr. Nujoma is seen walking alongside other icons of the liberation movement—Kenneth Kaunda, Robert Mugabe, and Samora Machel. This image is not only a tribute to their collective lifetime of service for the Southern African region and the continent, but also a reminder of the bonds that have sustained our continent through its most challenging times.
They transformed deep-seated struggles into a legacy of hope, reconciliation, and nationhood—principles that continue to resonate across Africa.

As we mourn the loss of a great leader, let us also celebrate the rich legacy he leaves behind. Dr. Sam Nujoma’s contributions will continue to guide us in our quest for a just, united, and prosperous Africa. His memory, much like that of the other leaders gone before him, etched on the path to freedom, will forever light our way.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Today, we’re diving into one of the most pressing issues facing communities across the UK—housing and homeownership.
Joining us is Laura Bannister, Senior Campaign Researcher at the Centre for Progressive Change. Laura is leading a nationwide listening campaign to uncover the challenges people face when trying to buy a home. She’s particularly keen to hear from Black African and other minoritised communities, who often face unique and systemic barriers in the housing market.
We’ll explore why homeownership remains a distant dream for many, what changes people want to see, and how you can share your voice in shaping a targeted policy campaign launching next year.

🇬🇭 In a landmark decision, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has approved visa-free entry to Ghana for all African nationals, effective from 2025.
This initiative positions Ghana alongside Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia, and Benin as the only African countries offering visa-free entry to all African passport holders. 

This policy aligns with the African Union’s (AU) Agenda 2063, which envisions a continent with seamless borders to promote economic integration and unity. By facilitating easier movement across borders, Ghana’s decision supports the AU’s aspirations for an integrated Africa. 

Furthermore, the visa-free policy complements the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), headquartered in Accra, Ghana. AfCFTA aims to create a single market for goods and services, enhancing intra-African trade. By removing visa barriers, Ghana is fostering an environment conducive to trade, investment, and economic collaboration across the continent. 

The vision of a borderless Africa was notably championed by the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who advocated for a United States of Africa with a single government and open borders. Ghana’s recent policy can be seen as a step toward realising such pan-African ideals, promoting unity and cooperation among African nations.

Previously, Ghana provided visa-free access to citizens of 26 African nations, while travelers from 25 other African countries could obtain a visa upon arrival. The new policy eliminates these distinctions, granting unrestricted access to all African travelers and reinforcing Ghana’s commitment to continental integration. 

In his keynote address at the Africa Prosperity Dialogue 2024, President Akufo-Addo emphasized Ghana’s dedication to this initiative, stating, “The government of Ghana is committed to ensuring visa-free [travel] for all Africans… and the process has begun to get the policy implemented this year.” 

By implementing this visa-free policy, Ghana is not only enhancing its diplomatic and economic ties with fellow African nations but also setting a precedent for others to follow.

This move is expected to boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchange, contributing to the broader goals of unity and prosperity across Africa.
