United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA)'s iconic Africa Hall wins international architecture award
The iconic Africa Hall has won its first 2025 International Architecture Award, given by The Chicago Athenaeum - Museum of Architecture and Design; and The European Centre for Architecture Art, Design and Urban Studies - in the restoration/renovation category. Originally designed by Arturo Mezzèdimi, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa officially opened in 1961, but over 50 years later, the building required significant intervention that would ultimately lead to a decade-long investment to restore the building. "The modernist masterpiece was tasked with the aspirational goal of bringing unity to Africa – on behalf of our heritage team, it was a privilege to restore this cultural landmark. Thank you to the jury for recognising the project, and congratulations to all involved in the awards program,' Architectus Conrad Gargett, representatives say on the company's LinkedIn page. The company also acknowledged Rory Gardiner, a specialised visual artist and a photographer of architecture, interiors and landscape, often commissioned to capture prestigious architectural sites around the world. His specialised approach to taking the images of Africa Hall has been key to Africa Hall's global appeal among architects, historians and visual artists. ECA congratulates Architectus Conrad Gargett for submitting the renovation project for an award and recognises the important role of the Africa Hall Project Team Lead, Antonio Baio, for upholding the vision of retaining Africa Hall's authenticity in the course of the renovation works over 5 years. 'I'm delighted to share with all this recognition we got for a great achievement. I had the honor to lead the team that made it possible, and the pleasure to share nine years with such a great group of colleagues and partners. Sincerely proud of us, a wonderful example of teamwork. My best wishes to ECA colleagues who are now taking it over and making it serve the African People, to whom this marvellous piece of architecture and art was dedicated,' says Antonio Baio. The restoration of this monument to Africa's History would not have been possible without the steering role played by the ECA leadership and the former Deputy Executive Secretary Antonio Pedro, the Africa Hall Advisory Board members, contracted personnel, the Government of Ethiopia and staff across the entire ECA and the UN system, who played their part in many unique and unsung ways. This iconic building also holds significant historical restored artworks, such as those by # AfeworkTekle and # NenneSanguinetiPoggi. Now in its 20th year, The International Architectural Awards are the oldest and most prestigious distinguished global building awards program that honors new and cutting-edge design worldwide. This annual programme also promotes international architecture and design to a worldwide public audience and is supported by the online magazine Global Design News. According to Ioannis Karalias, Architect and Museum Vice President at the Chicago Athenaeum, this year, the Museum received a record number of projects for new buildings, landscape architecture, and urban planning projects from the most important international firms practising globally. An international jury composed of several distinguished designers worked remotely and selected over 250 Awards and Honorable Mentions from a shortlist of over 1,200 submitted projects. A full list of winning projects for 2025 can also be viewed soon at the Museum's websites at and or at Distributed by APO Group on behalf of United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).

Absence of Synergy on Diplomatic Messaging May Harm South Africa's Potential, International Relations (IR) Committee Chair
The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on International Relations and Cooperation, Mr Supra Mahumapelo, has called on all government departments and officials to let the President give guidance on matters related to diplomacy and the US. Mr Mahumapelo said diplomatic relations is a complex terrain and needs to be monitored by people who are authorised at all times. It appears, he said, that everyone has an opinion on how the government and South Africa should relate with the world, owing to the much-publicised diplomatic challenges in South Africa's relationship with the US and the steep 30% US tariff increases imposed on South Africa, along with a host of other countries. Mr Mahumapelo said the committee believes that the government must be given space to consider how it will rebuild lasting relationships with the US that will be beneficial to South Africans and Americans alike. He added that it would be preferable if South Africa's special-envoy designate to the US leads in South Africa's response to any new trade packages. 'This will also enable for diplomatic negotiations between Pretoria and Washington, which is in the interest of all our citizens. We believe that South Africa remains the gateway to the markets in sub-Saharan Africa. It therefore is a diplomatic and trade channel that the US cannot contemplate to lose.' Mr Mahumapelo also noted what he called the unfortunate utterances attributed to the General of the South African National Defence Force relating to South Africa's relations with Iran. 'We believe our ambassador in the Middle East needed to have given guidance and approval on what had been widely reported, but the country requires no permission or endorsement on who it deals with at diplomatic level,' said Mr Mahumapelo. He said the absence of synergy in diplomacy may ruin South Africa's potential in an era of unstable geo-political relations.
