New York City, NY/November 23rd, 2018/ The Global Citizen festival has excited many African millennials throughout the continent. In celebration of this pan-Africanist climate, we are bringing together Africa’s most iconic, talented and benevolent artists to highlight the importance of their service to the world through their artistry. The discussion will be hosted by New York based artist and talk host, Bobo Matjila. The event is fully produced by entertainment publicist, Ekua Musumba and film director/event curator, Mukundwa Katuliiba.
This is an event aimed at addressing the issue of illiteracy in underserved communities. It is a free-ticketed event, however, all donations will go to NABU.Org to help eradicate extreme poverty through literacy.
Kweku Mandela, event producer and a grandson of Nelson Mandela, said, “My grandfather instilled in me the need to use your voice and actions to champion the struggles of your community. He believed that poverty is man made and could be eradicated by our actions. I am proud to be a part of a movement that reflects this and use citizen power to drive real change.”
The event will take place on December 1st 2018, between 5pm and 8pm at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is open to the public with RSVP via splashthat link: http://www.celebratingubuntu.splashthat.com/
