In the following video, Joseph Mapong describes the North Star of Africa:
Ubuntu—I am because we are; knowledge of self. Sawubona—I see you and I see those that are with you.
This way of living in which your welfare is tied to mine, is the fundamental philosophy of the spirit of African people, that must underlie every policy, initiative, innovation and developmental agenda for it to have long-term staying power and success among the African people.
Moving forward, in all our plans and actions towards Africa, may we imbibe and express the spirit of Ubuntu and Sawubona.
Wishing everyone well!
Onward & Upward!💫
