People from different African countries are parading in Midrand Johannesburg ahead of the Africa Month launch.

This year’s Africa Month edition is celebrated under the theme: The Year of Nutrition: Strengthening Resilience in Nutrition and Food Security on The African Continent.

Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture Nathi Mthethwa will on Monday officially launch Africa Month.

The event is celebrated yearly on 25 May to mark the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963.

In 2002 it was changed to African Union in Durban South Africa. Most Africans say there are many challenges that are facing the African continent that need to be addressed.

They say South Africa should also deal with the issue of xenophobia.

Some say the documentation system of the country makes life difficult for African migrants.
