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.
