As the continent commemorates the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), it is a time both of celebration and reflection on the milestones achieved and what they mean for Africa and its people. Africa has a rightful cause for celebration as some of the milestones set out at the inception of the OAU in 1963, such as freeing Africa from colonisation and apartheid, and the promotion of unity and solidarity among African member states, have been achieved – relatively. When South Africa gained its freedom in 1994, the OAU’s objective of independence from colonialism had been achieved. However, many postcolonial African countries experienced various economic crises. There was no doubt thereafter that Africa needed radical transformation and political stability to reignite its economy. This led to the reconceptualisation of the OAU in 1999, and the new organisation was officially launched as the African Union (AU) in 2002.
