Happy Independence Day Jamaica! π―π²
π We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Winnie Mandela's family for allowing us to name the inaugural Humanitarian Award in her honor.
It is fitting that the award's first recipient is the remarkable Rita Marley, whose dedication to humanitarian causes embodies the spirit of this prestigious recognition.
π―π²πΏπ¦ Our countries' shared histories and commitment to justice and humanity continue to thrive across various spheres, maintaining enduring bonds between Jamaican culture and South Africa.
Thank you to all who joined us in this significant 30th milestone celebration.

Earlier today, International Reggae Day was honoured with an Official Message from South Africa in recognition of JulyOne and which underscored the importance of Reggae music to the people of South Africa as they fought for liberation from apartheid 30 years ago and its continued resonance today.
We have shared this wonderful message in it entirety from Dr Cynthia Khumalo, Acting Director General,
Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, South Africa.
It was a privilege Dr Khumalo.

On JulyOne, 25 years ago, Jamaica and his fans around the globe lost a legend - the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown.
Each year we recognise his significant contributions to Jamaican music and Luciano gave the perfect tribute in song, on this special day today.
