“When the ANC sent me to study in London, the Tanzanian gave me a fake passport to fly to England. I was accompanied to the airport by Oliver Tambo, Julius Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda, that’s the half truth. O.R and Mwalimu were actually accompanying KK to the airport to negotiate for the independence of Zambia and I happened to be on the same trip.” - President Thabo Mbeki 😂🇿🇦🔥

Happy #PrideMonth! We pay tribute to our colleagues who are part of the LGBTQI+ community. We celebrate your courage, your authenticity, & your resilience even in the face of adversity for the community.

In unity, communities can find the power to disrupt injustice and drive the changes that are required to #endAIDS.
