Tanzania’s deputy prime minister calls for regional unity
Tanzania's Deputy Prime Minister Dr Doto Biteko delivered an inspiring talk on pan-African unity earlier this week at a Triumphant College event in Windhoek.
The event, held at the college's main campus in Khomasdal, drew a diverse audience of members of the student representative council (SRC), leaders, scholars, activists and community members.
Biteko's address highlighted the crucial role of unity in advancing the African continent's collective goals amid a complex global landscape. “I’m reminded of the enduring strength and unity that binds us as Africans with our shared visions of prosperity and a united Africa," he said.
His talk emphasised the importance of pan-African solidarity in addressing shared challenges and fostering regional development.
The event also featured a series of engaging activities, including choir songs, dynamic discussions and vibrant cultural performances. “If you want to hear people that can sing, come to southern Africa,” Biteko proudly said.
SRC member Victoria Nghikelua said: “As the SRC for external affairs, I feel highly honoured to welcome the deputy prime minister to our school because this not only fosters good collaboration but also gives the students an opportunity to meet him and [gain] great wisdom from his perspective.”
Inspire collaboration
The elements of Biteko’s pan-Africanist speech were designed to stimulate dialogue and inspire collaborative efforts toward greater continental cohesion. Biteko also commended the rapid development of Triumphant College, noting that at its start, the college employed only six staff members, with 206 now working there, emphasising the institution's impressive growth.
He also discussed prospects for future collaboration with the university, including the addition of Swahili as an offered language for any interested Namibians. He described the college as a "beacon of learning and progress in Namibia."
