share

The President of the Pan-African Parliament, Hon. Chief Fortune Zephania Charumbira, the Vice Presidents and the entire membership of the Pan-African Parliament, join staff of the Pan-African Parliament, all African Union employees and all workers across the continent in celebrating the 2023 Workers’ Day.

The Workers’ Day holiday is not just a celebration of workers’ rights, but it is also a timely reminder of the critical role that all workers play in the socio-economic development of the African continent and the struggle for social justice.

Doubtless, the working class on the African continent bore the brunt of the discriminatory colonial yoke and spearheaded the struggle to overthrow systemic and institutionalised oppression and segregation.

The leadership of the Pan-African Parliament takes this opportunity to express its profound appreciation to staff of the Pan-African Parliament for their professional and committed contribution towards the revival, repositioning, reinvention and reinvigoration of the Pan-African Parliament.

Happy Workers' Day!!
