Africa must become a continent that is thriving and prosperous, not one from which its people are dying in an attempt to leave, writes President Cyril Ramaphosa. AfricaDay2021

Life is so difficult for millions of people on our continent and opportunities so few that they would risk their lives crossing the sea in pursuit of a better future. Last week, I joined several African leaders at a summit in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron on the financing of African economies in the post-Covid-19 era.

In what was described as a New Deal for Africa, leaders and international organisations recognised that we share a collective responsibility to implement financial relief measures for African countries in distress.
