'At a time when xenophobia and Afrophobia continue to fracture communities across the continent, iPhupho L'ka Biko asks us to look deeper. Beyond headlines, political rhetoric and easy answers lies a more difficult question: how did African people become strangers to one another on their own continent?

What happens when people inherit freedom without justice, democracy without dignity and liberation without economic freedom? What happens when a nation promises belonging but leaves millions searching for work, security and purpose? It is within this tension that Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath finds its voice.

Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary ideas of Thomas Sankara, alongside the musical legacies of Bra Hugh Masekela and Mam Miriam Makeba, Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath interrogates the historical, political and economic forces that continue to shape how Africans see themselves and each other. Through music, spoken word, improvisation and critical reflection, the ensemble explores the fractures left behind by colonialism, apartheid, displacement, inequality and the unfinished project of African liberation.

Known for confronting the questions many would rather avoid, iPhupho L'ka Biko has established itself as a vital cultural voice in South Africa's contemporary landscape.

The ensemble ventures into the spaces where history remains unresolved, where collective memory is contested and where society is often encouraged to look away. Their work gives expression to the concerns, contradictions, hopes and frustrations of ordinary people becoming both witness and conscience in times of uncertainty.

Rather than reducing complex social realities to slogans, Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath creates space for honest engagement with the conditions that produce division across the continent. It asks audiences to consider not only the tensions between Africans, but also the systems that continue to profit from those tensions.

This is an evening of fearless music, political inquiry and collective reflection. A call to remember that African liberation has always been a shared project and that the future of the continent depends on our ability to see one another not as competitors, outsiders or threats but as part of a common destiny.

Let love lead, not hate. We shall uphold Our Sankara Oath.

There's been very little coverage of this anti-xenophobia speech in South African media (perhaps due to May 1 holiday). But it's been a sensation across Africa, widely reported in many countries. It has some of the sharpest criticism of anti-foreigner violence ever heard in SA.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

A fiery speech by South Africa's🇿🇦 EFF leader Julius Malema, over xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.

���You say Zimbabweans take your jobs. Nigerians take your jobs.

You march, close shops and beat up people. Tell us after doing that how many jobs have you created, by beating up these Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Ghanaians?

You beat people because they took your jobs.

You close a shop that hires people. How many have you created after beating and chasing them?

Unskilled men, with no skills, none whatsoever, say somebody took away their jobs. I don't want your votes if you behave like that. Take them away.

Pushing out of school an African child that looks like you, I will never do that. You can take your votes. Make me die with my conscience very clearly.

I will never refuse a pregnant woman of African descent to give birth in the clinics of South Africa. Never!”

@CityPowerJhb you were meant to restore power at 20:00. From Sartuday to date we are without power. Update?

[Musawenkosi Cabe @CabeMusa]

Five days and counting without electricity. Restoration was scheduled for today at 18:00 but for some reason you have pushed it tomorrow. As inner city residents, we have had enough #CityPower
