He said the idea of national unity had always been the primary goal for the ideology of pan-Africanism.
“I call upon the youths and students of this nation to embrace every opportunity in Africa that can push the position of our local people forward in a globalised world,” Khaya Moyo said.

“The Bible teaches us not to steal and, therefore, those who are corrupt or have friends who are corrupt should not be tolerated,” he said.

Home Affairs deputy minister Ziyambi Ziyambi and hundreds of students from different higher and tertiary institutions in the country attended the commemorations.
