She adds that it forms part of the party’s efforts to reconnect and renew relations on the African continent.

She says the lecture reminds leaders on the continent to commit to the Agenda 2063, which is the African Union’s 50-year vision and development blueprint for Africa.

The agenda is also linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with specific goals addressing issues like poverty, food security, health, education, and climate change.

Mokonyane, speaking to the SABC in Dar es Salaam, says Mbeki must be supported in his efforts to bring Africans together.

“We know comrade Thabo Mbeki’s passion about New Partnership for Africa's Development. We know how he embraced the Agenda 2063 championed again by another South African, and we are here in the home of the African National Congress, having seen comrade Thabo Mbeki going to Morogoro. Again, a programme that we are all involved in terms of building a struggle heritage and partnership between Tanzania and working together with Chama Cha Mapinduzi and the ANC.”
