A SAINTS star attended an event that celebrated the wide variety of African communities in Hampshire.

Sadio Mane went to The United Voice of African Associations (TUVAA) event which celebrated different African cultures and shared them with people from the UK and across Africa.

More than 140 people attended the All Things African night which included ceremonial role playing, dancing, music and displays of clothing and make up.

Dr. Abdoulie Sanneh, chairman of TUVAA, said: "We were so excited that Sadio Mane came to our event to show his support to TUVAA, it was absolutely fantastic as he showcased his African dance moves to a mandinka live Kora music.

"We want people to look at African culture from different perspectives including food and dance.

"We want to be able to share each other's culture because Africa has thousands of different cultures and there are many African people living in Hampshire.

"It is a chance to meet people and I enjoy the live choral music, if you have never experienced it before it is very exciting.

"The trouble is we need to come together to have a unified voice because we are weak when we do not come together to be heard.

"For our voice to be heard we need to come together as Africans and for that to happen we have to share our customs and cultures."
