Africa’s story has always been one of togetherness — of people lifting one another, sharing burdens, and finding hope in community. But lately, that story has taken a painful turn. Across parts of the continent, especially in South Africa, a growing sense of fear and mistrust has begun to replace the unity that once bound us.
We’ve seen heartbreaking waves of killings — families forced from their homes, small businesses destroyed, and once-strong friendships between nations start to fracture. And the targets? Fellow Africans.
Zimbabweans searching for a fair chance at life, Mozambican traders working to make ends meet, Somali shopkeepers, Ethiopian entrepreneurs, and Nigerian workers — all trying to build honest lives and contribute to South Africa’s economy — have found themselves in harm’s way.
This reality has raised a difficult but necessary question: how did we get here, and how do we rebuild the trust we’ve lost?
To find those answers, News Central TV, Africa’s leading Pan-African news platform, is bringing people together for the News Central Town Hall – South Africa Edition.
This Town Hall will gather people who have lived through these tensions — to share their stories, their pain, and their hopes for healing.
It’s not about blame. It’s about understanding. About clearing the fog of misinformation, listening with empathy, and working together on real solutions that restore the spirit of unity Africa was built on.
Through open conversation, News Central TV hopes to revive the timeless African philosophy of Ubuntu — “I am because we are.”
