Apparently Africa Day is celebrated to commemorate the founding of the Organization of African Unity (a contradiction in terms if ever I saw one) on the 25th of May 1963. Accordingly we had a holiday today though I didn’t see much celebrating of anything happening, not that I was looking.
For the women labourers at work it was their third day off in a row. Yesterday they were on strike for more pay though they did not admit that they were on strike as it’s illegal to strike without 2 weeks prior notice and approval of the relevant union. Interestingly the men did not follow their lead as they have done in the past. If the strike continues tomorrow I will have to enlist the help of the police as I have done in the past. Last time two officers came along and one made a big show of pulling out and admiring his pistol whilst the woman officer told them to get back to work or else. I think I am looking forward to going off to the UK and Europe on Sunday!
