Namibia and South Africa are among few African countries that took a decision to sing the AU anthem and hoist the continental flag alongside national flags and anthems. President Hage Geingob and the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat both emphasised that the move is to keep pan-Africanism alive in the face of unilateralism. They made the remarks during a state-banquet in honour of Mahamat at State House.
