Sports And African Unity

Kumasi, February 20, 1960

I am very happy to be here this evening to take part in the opening ceremony of this magnificent Sports stadium; the completion of which marks yet another milestone in our efforts — to re-organise sports in Ghana.

I join with others in expressing the appreciation of the people of Ghana to the United- Africa Company for the contribution which they have made towards the building of this Sports stadium.

This stadium, together with its sister stadium in Accra, represents the outward and visible sign of the desire and determination of our people to be numbered among the best in the world of sport. I cherish the hope that this stadium will contribute in no small measure towards the achievement of this goal.

The Convention People’s Party and my government have always been eager to encourage sports amongst the youth of Ghana. Not only can sports contribute towards the development of our nation and improve the physical fitness of our young men and women, but they can also play a great part in the development of unity and understanding between the regions of Ghana.

Sports, like art, culture and science, have no territorial boundaries. In the light of this they have another and even more important role to play in present-day Africa. Through international competitions with other African States, sports can provide that necessary basis of mutual understanding which can so greatly assist the realisation of our ideal of unity in Africa.

The youth of Africa, by meeting together in the field of sport in one another’s countries, will learn what our elders were prevented from learning — that all Africans are brothers with a common destiny. When, therefore, progress towards the attainment of African unity is made at the political and economic level, one can hope that interchange of sports and cultural activities would have made its influence felt in the creation of a healthy atmosphere for African unity and independence.

It is for this reason that I donated the gold cup for the West African football competition, a trial phase of which has recently ended. It is for this reason also that I, as a citizen of Africa, announced my intention to promote an African Olympiad at which athletes from all parts of this continent, as well as athletes of African descent from all over the world, will lay the foundation of a new movement to bring all Africa together in the field of sports. I intend to make proposals to the government for the immediate creation of the machinery for promoting this great Venture.

And now, to return to the Kumasi Sports Stadium. You are all aware of the circumstances which prevented His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh from opening this stadium during his recent and memorable visit to Ghana. I naturally regret that he is unable to be here in person this evening. However, the wonders of science are such that I am able, with great pleasure, to call upon him to throw his voice through space to declare the Kumasi Sports Stadium open.

On Arrival At Accra Airport

Accra,May 27, 1963
A week ago, I left Accra for Addis Ababa to attend the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Independent African States. You will recall in 1958, exactly five years ago, when the first Conference of Independent can States was held in Accra, there were only eight Independent States in Africa. At this Conference in Addis Ababa, there were representatives from thirty one independent African States. All of us at this Conference were unanimous in our determination to lay concrete foundations for the freedom and unity of Africa.

I am happy to inform you that as a result of the work we did in Addis Ababa, have created a Continental Organisation of African Unity. This Charter for the Organisation of African Unity will soon be presented to Parliament for ratification. A major outcome of the Addis Ababa Conference is that, the existing blocs and political groupings in Africa have come to an end. There is now only one Africa with a common aspiration and common objective.

A countryman, in spite of the manoeuvres and intrigues of the colonialists and their agents, the unity of the African Continent has become a reality. After years of colonial exploitation and oppression, Africa has been re-born. From now on, we have a common identity and a common destiny.

I am sure that we in Ghana will support and sustain this Union of African States with the same zeal and determination with which we carried out the struggle for our independence.

On the eve of our independence, l stated that the independence of Ghana is meaningless, unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the whole of the African Continent. With our united force in Africa, we are now in a stronger position to assist our brothers who are still fighting for their freedom and independence. Very soon, they too will be free and unite with us. This imposes on all of us a greater obligation to work harder and more zealously not only for Ghana, but for all Africa.

Friends and Countrymen, African Unity has become a reality. l can now see the Union Government of Africa already here. The atmosphere at Addis Ababa Conference was most cordial and we all parted happy and determined. Personally, l have never felt happier. The political unification of Africa which has been my life-long dream is now almost here.

Friends and Countrymen, l thank you very much for the kind messages and good wishes which you sent to me at Addis Ababa. I thank you also for this very warm and cordial reception.

Kwame Nkrumah’ was born at a time when records of dates of birth were largely not kept in the Gold Coast. His date of birth was however recorded as 21st September 1909 by the catholic Priest who baptized him into the Catholic Church. This was the date of birth he used on all his official documents. As he recounted in his autobiography, a recollection of events around his childhood later made him realize how close this guess must have been to his actual date of birth. He was born into the Nzima tribe in Nkroful; a small village on the south western border of the then Gold Coast......
