REPORT BACK: A NEW DAY IN AFRICA

On the fiftieth anniversary of Africa Day, the Breath of Life institute hosted its second installment in a series of public lectures. 

The theme of this event was “A New Day in Africa”. This took place at the Cape Town Central Library. The event was fairly attended however nothing could deter the mission of the day.

Once again the lecture was an Audio-Visual treat, extraordinarily informative and inspirational. Bro. Quaniel derived the presentation from H.E Ben Ammi’s 2005 State of the World address entitled “The Great Transformation and adapted it for the immediate situation.

This historical journey coupled with a vivid picture of the future based on the laws and principles of the Yah of creation defined as the God/African Idea was timeous. Half a century since the establishment of the OAU we are compelled to reflect on its effectiveness.

The seminar questioned the legitimacy of Africa’s independence considering that wherever you go on this continent it has been developed in the image and likeness of Europe. The colonial mind refurbished as democracy is running rampant yet it subtly retains the same destructive vigor of its earlier overt predecessor. This mind referred to as the “European Idea” continues to deny Africa of its self-hood and right to self-determination while desecrating Africa’s cultural distinctiveness.

Such a glaring predicament requires that we apply new strategies, policies and seek a new direction to address our social maladies. The New Day in Africa Seminar inspired a new approach to the problems of Africa and Africans. The proposed new idea is based on ancient African/Edenic principles revealed as the Genesis/God Mind that was the mainstay of our former world.

This idea develops society in harmony with its Creator and creation which is the inherent driving force and nature of our beloved continent. The application of this idea will free Africa from its morass as is evidenced by its first successful social experiment in Dimona Israel. A New Day in Africa begins with a New Idea/God Idea being implemented.

Those of us in attendance we thoroughly enthused and stimulated by the message of the day and we look forward to the next public lecture.

Yah Khai!
