This week on Africa of the Future we bring you an exclusive interview with the Cuban Ambassador to South Africa, his Excellency Rodolfo Benitez Verson talking about Cuban President’s birthday on the 13th of August. Fidel Castro would be 94 years old on this day had he been alive. We discuss the significance of his birthdate and what it means for the people of Cuba. We also discussed Cuba-South Africa and Africa relations and the dangerous and toxic political environment in the Caribbean and Latin American region where Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua face repeated United States attempts to illegally overthrow their governments.

Africa of the Future celebrates 50 years of the OAU, now known as the African Union, we explore the victories and challenges of its history and look forward into the future.
