South Africa has been selected as one of the top African
Pavilions at the Expo 2020 Dubai.
Standing
alongside all the countries of Africa, South Africa was one of only seven
mentioned in a recent article in The National.
Expo 2020 will see millions of people worldwide meet and celebrate their
collective humanity. It is an opportunity to work towards a shared and
sustainable future under the promise of 'ˇĄConnecting Minds, Creating the
Future'ˇ¦. Each country participating has a pavilion ˇV a place to enjoy an
immersive cultural experience and discover what makes each country unique.
Calling South Africa the ˇ§opportunity districtˇ¨, our countryˇ¦s pavilion is a
melting pot of our culture and showcases how ˇ§innovation is informed by a
keen understanding of the past and where culture is as important as
commerceˇ¨.
Think South Africa ˇV think opportunity! Our excellence can be seen in our
rich heritage, incredible wonders, our creativity and innovative thinking.
Our one-of-a-kind country is a testament that excellence does breed
opportunity.
ˇ§Since the opening day of Expo 2020, the South Africa Pavilion has been a
hive of activity with concerts, culinary displays, and even a television
studio for a variety show featuring South African celebrities such as
Nomzamo Mbatha.
''The pavilion is laced with colourful geometric prints linked to the
Ndebele ethnic group, and its spacious and uncluttered design allows you to
take in all the exhibitions exploring South Africaˇ¦s cosmopolitanism,
sporting achievements and some wonderful images of pioneering former leader
Nelson Mandela.ˇ¨
The other African countries who made the list were Algeria, Angola,
Botswana, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Senegal.
