Africa’s next IP chapter must be about economic advantage. We have built institutions, strengthened laws and expanded awareness. Now we must go further: using IP strategically to scale African enterprises, attract investment, build competitive brands and turn innovation into economic value. The measure of a strong IP system is not only the rights it grants, but the prosperity it helps create. #IntellectualProperty #Innovation #ARIPO50

WATCH] On behalf of the African National Congress, I want to state that we a country of over 60 million. There are many people who come to our country and many come to our country to contribute to the wealth of our country and its progress. Many contribute positively in our country. There are people in our country who have taken it upon themselves to do things which the vast majority do not condone and this must not paint South Africans as xenophobic. Indeed we do have a challenge of illegal immigration in South Africa and it’s not a problem unique to South Africa. There are many country’s affected by this. South Africa is a signatory of the Geneva Convention and we must deal with this challenge within the perimeters of the law. We can’t deal with it with hatred. That is why government has adopted a program of action to deal with this particular challenge which the President has made a public announcement. We have called for law enforcement and calmness and follow the government’s Action Plan on dealing with illegal immigration. We have made it very clear as the ANC, we cannot and should not be associated with anything that amounts to hate crimes. In this particular instance the majority of South Africans are people of Ubuntu and humanity. Because we too would not be free without the solidarity and assistance of country’s such as Mozambique in the fight against apartheid. Many people sacrificed such as Samora Machel the President of Mozambique and many combatants died here fighting against apartheid. #ANCinMozambique #ANCatWORK

The Bafana visa delay isn’t just an admin blunder. It must be read in the context of a deeply strained US-SA relationship, G20 exclusions, ambassador expulsions, frozen aid. Geopolitics has consequences on the ground. Let’s not scapegoat SAFA. #BafanaBafana #WC2026
