Limkokwing University began its series of annual cultural showcases with ‘Afrosphere’; a showcase of African Heritage and diversity at the Hall of Fame on 1 April.

Afrosphere featured a mesh of lively and creative activities such as poetry, songs, dance and a fashion show exhibiting an array of traditional attires from eight African nations namely; Congo, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Sudan, Swaziland, Nigeria and Tanzania.

The event attracted a culturally diverse crowd of over 300 students from Limkokwing and other universities. It was aimed at sharing African cultural diversity and serves as a platform to produce socially conscious graduates.

His Royal Highness Prince Sicalo and Prince Mavela of Swaziland also graced the event with their presence accompanied by Acting High Commissioner/Chancellor of Swaziland, Honourable Sibusisiwe and Members of the Swaziland Royal Court.

Nigerian Student Association President, Collins Masanto Adigwe studying Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Information Technology expressed his delight at having an opportunity to attend Afrosphere.

“Today is magnificent; I must give kudos to the University for being able to put together such a colourful and meaningful event. When people come together at such events, there is harmony, synergy and unity,” he said.
Lebanese student, Iskandar, acknowledged that learning about other cultures is helpful for future graduates because they would know how to work with people from different backgrounds.

“In the future, one may have to work with people from different cultures, so being used to interacting with different kinds of people would help students have a better working environment,” he concluded.

Afrosphere is the first series of cultural events that build up to the annual Cultural Festival where students from over 150 nations get to showcase their traditions and cultural heritage.
