Fiji Independence Day
The Republic of Fiji is a small island nation situated in the South Pacific Ocean, 1,100 miles northeast of New Zealand. Renowned for its archipelago, which comprises hundreds of small islands, Fiji features pristine white beaches and a warm, breezy tropical climate. Fiji Day marks the culmination of Fiji Week, a period dedicated to celebrating the culture, religion, and history of the Fijian people. It is a time for joy and festivities, but also for introspection and remembrance. Fiji Day is also celebrated in Australia and New Zealand.
Fijians celebrate their national day marking 54 years since the island nation gained independence on 10 October 1970. Thousands gathered in Labasa town on Vanua Levu, Fiji’s second largest island, to partake in the national celebrations.
Mining Indaba collaborates with the Association of Women in Mining in Africa (AWIMA) to empower, unite, and strengthen the women in mining Africa footprint
As Africa’s mining industry undergoes significant transformation, empowering women is crucial for sustainable development and gender equality across the continent. Traditionally male-dominated, the mining sector offers unique opportunities for women to demonstrate their skills and drive change. Promoting women’s leadership in decision-making can unlock their full potential and foster a more inclusive future.
The partnership between Mining Indaba and the African Women in Mining Association (AWIMA) is vital in addressing women’s challenges in the industry. The theme of Mining Indaba 2025, “Future-proofing African Mining, Today!” aims to advance the industry while prioritising sustainability and equality. This collaboration seeks to champion and highlight the essential roles of women in mining, showcasing their contributions to a more environmentally conscious and equitable future.
Mining Indaba empowers women, revolutionises the industry, and fosters open dialogue for sustainability. Zeinab El-Sayed, Head of Government Partnerships at Mining Indaba, expressed pride in partnering with AWIMA, emphasising the need to celebrate the significant contributions of African women in mining. By recognizing and promoting the invaluable roles of women in mining, the event aims to drive positive change and pave the way for a more equitable and responsible mining landscape in Africa.

Uganda Independence Day
A military parade is held yearly at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala to celebrate Uganda Independence Day. The ceremony begins with the arrival of the President, who takes the national salute as “Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty” is played. The President inspects the guard of honour, after which the band performs a slow march followed by a quick march, signalling the escort to retrieve the national colours. The President inspects the parade once the colours are presented and the national salute is given. The national colours are raised on the main flagpole, and the President delivers a holiday address. Following this, religious leaders lead prayers for the nation, before the parade commander orders the parade to commence with a slow march, transitioning into a quick march.
The day is not only a celebration of Uganda’s freedom but also a reminder of the ongoing journey toward national unity and development. It serves as an opportunity for Ugandans to reflect on their identity, values, and aspirations for the future.
