Africa will be always an inseparable part of Cuba!

By Rodolfo Benítez Verson, Ambassador of Cuba to South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho

Pretoria, May 25, 2020.- There are many reasons for Cuba to commemorate Africa on this 25th day of May. Africa is part of the very essence of our Homeland.

As a result of four centuries of cruel slave trade; almost 1,300,000 Africans came to our island. Their strong presence marked forever the history of our nation.
