Jenerik Soulz appointed as Ambassadors for Fair Play for Africa Campaign

Jenerik Soulz has been officially been appointed Ambassadors for the Fair Play for Africa Campaign. Fair Play for Africa is a pan African campaign that aims to use the platform of 2010 FIFA World Cup to ensure equitable access to quality health services for African citizens especially women, children, and people living with HIV and AIDS using civil society organisations from across the African continent.

Fair play for Africa will be working with campaign activities in 10 African countries (Angola, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, Mali, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Kenya) and also aims to use the 2010 FIFA World Cup to put pressure on African governments to meet their health Millennium Development Goal (MDG) commitments by linking up with international initiatives to put the health MDG’s back on track. Jenerik Soulz will be participating in these activities.

The logo and theme of the campaign is the whistle – a positive sound to celebrate the progress that has been made already; and the whistle is also a means to demand accountability and blow the whistle on under-performing African and international governments (who have promised to spend 15% of their budgets on health). Also, the one with the whistle holds the power (the people) and it is a clear reference to the World Cup and football.

In support of the campaign, Jenerik Soulz produced and wrote a pumping, energetic and positive theme song titled Leaders of the World (The Whistle Song). The campaign was officially launched in Angola on 31^st January 2010 (the finals of the African Cup of Nations) where the song was played for the first time.
