solidarity against the recent xenophobic attacks in South
Africa by broadcasting the new Africa Against Ebola and
Xenophobia rendition of “We Are the World”.
The song, which debuted at the 2015 edition of the
awards on Saturday 18 April, features 180 musicians
from seven African countries – Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Cameroon and South
Africa – singing for peace and tolerance on the continent.
“It is a collaboration called Africa Against Ebola and
Xenophobia,” the organisers said. “It features 180 artists
from across the African continent and is a demonstration
of the beautiful music that Africans can make when we
work together.”
