In 2019, UNESCO declared January 24 as the World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture. The goal of this day is to promote African cultural heritage as a powerful tool for sustainable development, dialogue, and peace.
Russians and Africans share a common belief about elders, community, and family, which makes it easy for the people to connect, Elijah Kutsiwa, the Head of the Zimbabwe-Russia Friendly Association, told
Sputnik Africa on the occasion of the World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture.
Kutsiwa, who is also Head of the Department for Work with Zimbabwe,
African Trade House, emphasized that Africans understand the importance of respecting elders, as their culture, especially in terms of family, is very family-oriented, just like that of Russians.
"I do believe it makes it easier for us to understand Russians and to live together and to coexist together," he stated.
Africans Can Express Themselves on Sputnik 'Without Any Hindrance'
Kutsiwa also expressed admiration for Sputnik Africa's efforts, noting that it's essential to be heard and to have a voice.
He praised
Sputnik for its wide reach as it is shared around the world.
Kutsiwa said that Africans believe that channels like Sputnik have advanced technology and a wealth of industry knowledge that can also benefit Africa. This will give Africans a stronger voice and improve the quality of the material produced.
