FESTIVAL BACKED BY PROVINCIAL HEAVYWEIGHTS
The Afrika Unite Cultural International Festival has received a major boost thanks to funding from the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture’s Mzansi Golden Economy program. The festival is also proudly partnered with the Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency (ECPTA).
According to ECPTA CEO Vuyani Dayimani, the partnership is a testament to the agency’s commitment to showcasing the Eastern Cape’s rich cultural heritage and tourism offerings. “By supporting events like Afrika Unite, we’re creating opportunities to highlight our stunning destinations, promote sustainable travel, and drive community engagement and economic growth in our province,” says Dayimani.
