A Provincial Interfaith Prayer Service in response to the scourge of rape, violence in the mining sector, muti-killings, satanism in schools, road fatalities, brutal killing of farmers and farmworkers and moral decay that manifests itself through strive, greed and corruption is to be hosted at the Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg on Sunday.
The prayer service hosted by the National Interfaith Council of South Africa (NICSA-North West Chapter) in partnership with the North West Provincial Government is expected to attract thousands of believers from all faiths.
The theme adopted by the Provincial Chapter of NICSA for the prayer service scheduled to commence at 9h00 is “Working together as people of faith in partnership with government towards service delivery, nation-building, peace, unity and moral regeneration in the North West Province.”
“We appreciate the partnership of NICSA and call on all our social partners, churches, faith based organisations, non government organisations, men's organisations, youth and women’s organisations, and all our people to join us in prayer. Let’s us join hands in working towards building a moral and caring society, conscious of its obligations to uphold the core values of respect for human rights, human dignity and the enjoyment of human liberties guaranteed by our constitution,” appealed Premier Thandi Modise.
The Premier says that fervent prayer and divine intervention should propel the province to reclaim the spirit of Ubuntu, social cohesion which is underpinned by the existence of shared moral values, social practices and a strong sense of unity within structures and our communities
