The Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was established on 25 May 1963, it was the culmination of a number of diverse and far-reaching historical currents and political trends both on the African continent and abroad. It then rebranded to become the African Union #Africaday

At Cresta Hotels, our identity is closely entwined with that of Africa. We are the custodians of true African hospitality and a gateway to experience Cape Town. Today we celebrate Africa Day, asking you all to remember that this day is for unity. #Happyafricaday

Kwame Nkrumah was the first PM of Ghana & founding forefather of the OAU. Under Nkrumah, Ghana played a leading role in African international relations during the decolonization period. #Africaday ...Makes you wonder what sort of legacy are you leaving behind?
