# Former President Thabo Mbeki is in Tanzania for the annual Africa Day Lecture this weekend in Dar es Salaam. The event marks Africa Day and honours fallen freedom fighters. This year’s lecture focuses on Africa’s self-determination and the blue economy as critical to the continent’s future. Mbeki visited the Garden of Remembrance in Morogoro and paid homage to the pioneer journalist, translator and hymn composer, Tiyo Soga:
