SayProCMR – SayPro 2025 Digital Day

Address by the Royal Committee Chairperson Officer: Clifford Lesiba Legodi

Esteemed Dignitaries, Respected Elders, Honourable Guests, SayPro Leaders, Partners, and All Members of the SayPro Family,

On behalf of the SayPro Royal Committee, I am deeply honoured and humbled to address you on this landmark occasion — SayPro 2025 Digital Day.

Today, we are not only marking the success of a programme — we are witnessing a moment in history. A moment where vision meets innovation, tradition meets transformation, and our people stand at the forefront of a digital future led by Africa, for Africa.

Upholding Tradition in the Age of Innovation

As the Chairperson of the SayPro Royal Committee, I stand as a custodian of culture, heritage, and unity — and I am proud to see how SayPro has built a bridge between the wisdom of our past and the promise of tomorrow.

In many of our communities, knowledge has always been passed down by word of mouth, by ritual, and by tradition. Today, through SayPro’s work, that knowledge is preserved, expanded, and now shared across continents — through digital platforms, accessible tools, and community-led innovation.

This is not a departure from who we are — it is a celebration of who we have always been: resilient, resourceful, and ready to rise.

SayProCMR: The People’s Platform

SayProCMR has emerged as a beacon of hope and progress for Cameroon — and a model for others to follow.

With over one million lives touched, thousands trained in vital skills, and tools now available in both urban cities and rural villages, we see firsthand the power of digital inclusion.

But what sets SayPro apart is not just the technology — it is the trust. Trust in people. Trust in culture. Trust in the power of the community to lead change.

Empowering the Next Generation

I speak now directly to our youth, our future leaders: You are not just users of technology — you are creators, innovators, and protectors of our heritage. Use these tools not only to better your lives, but to uplift others. Use digital platforms to share your stories, to grow your businesses, and to build bridges of understanding across borders.

Let SayProCMR be your launchpad.

A Royal Salute to Our Partners

To our partners — the private sector, NGOs, development agencies, and government allies — we salute your dedication and collaboration. You have invested not just in a programme, but in our people. And that is a legacy you should carry with pride.

Moving Forward with Unity

As we enter this next chapter, the Royal Committee reaffirms its unwavering support for SayPro and all it stands for. We will continue to work hand in hand with our communities, ensuring that the journey toward digital transformation is one that uplifts all — especially the most vulnerable.

Let us remember: progress without inclusion is not true progress. Technology without humanity is not true development.

Conclusion

Let this Digital Day remind us that Africa is not behind — we are rising.

We have the wisdom of our ancestors, the strength of our people, and now, the tools of the digital age. With SayPro, we are combining them all — to build a future that is innovative, inclusive, and inspired by the dreams of our people.

I thank you all. I honour you. And I call on each of you to continue walking this path — together.

Long live SayProCMR. Long live SayPro. Long live Africa.

Thank you.
