“Global Citizens around the world are calling for systemic change, change that brings about justice for everyone, everywhere, regardless of where they were born or the colour of their skin,” co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, Hugh Evans said.
“If we are to end COVID-19 for all, we need our world leaders to commit the billions of dollars needed to equitably deliver testing, treatments, and vaccines.”
The concert is expected to be televised globally and live-streamed and is supported by Global Citizen and the European Commission as parts of efforts to fight COVID-19.
With total infections going over nine million, economies of several countries have been hit by the lockdown that was enforced to fight the virus.
This show is aimed at raising money to help those living in extreme poverty and those communities who are facing discrimination as a result of this.
The concert is set to be hosted by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Mama Africa… doing us proud.
