The Annual Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture is at the heart of the TMF and Unisa engagements. At its formation, the TMF and Unisa decided that they should respect the call made by Africa's political leaders in 1963 that the 25th of May must be used to focus on advancing the goals the continent has set itself. This did not change when African Liberation Day became Africa Day.
Unisa and the TMF are very pleased and honoured that every year since 2010, they have hosted some of Africa's most eminent thought leaders as our esteemed lecturers.
Successive lecturers have made important comments, observations and suggestions to add to this strategic thinking process about what Africa must do.
The 13th Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture will be held on Saturday, 27 May 2023, in the City of Conakry, Republic of Guinea. This will be the first-ever Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture hosted outside of South Africa to demonstrate the Unisa and TMF’s commitment to being pan-African organisations. The 13th Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture will be a unique platform to critically examine the challenges of fragility and security in West Africa and the factors affecting its economic development. The lecture is expected to catalyse bold new actions, solutions and strategies from state and non-state actors to deliver political, social and economic progress for all in the region.
