Ghana endorses bold campaign for a visa-free Africa
Mail & Guardian
|July 18, 2025
The push for a visa-free Africa gained renewed momentum with Ghana's endorsement of the Trans African Tourism and Unity Campaign, which advocates say is essential for unlocking the continent's economic and cultural potential.
Announced on 10 July by the ministry of foreign affairs, the campaign is spearheaded by Ras Mubarak, a former MP and broadcaster in Ghana.
Its central objective is to abolish visa restrictions for African citizens travelling in the continent — a move that would encourage intra-African tourism, increase trade and foster deeper cross-cultural connections.
The endorsement aligns with the African Union's Agenda 2063, a strategic framework that envisions greater political and economic integration across the continent.
