A lot still needs to be done to address the legacy of apartheid,inequalities and disparities - Premier Modise
A lot still needs to be done to address the legacy apartheid. Inequalities and disparities that still persist, North West Premier Thandi Modise told close to 6 000 worshippers who were part of the St John Apostolic Church of Prophecy Mass Prayer held in Mahikeng on Saturday.
In encouraging worshippers to exercise their right to vote during the national and provincial elections to be held on 7 May, Premier Modise appealed to worshippers to continue praying for free, fair and peaceful elections, God fearing leaders with correct values, honest, trustworthy and truthful leadership.
“Amid the strides and challenges we have experienced over the past 20 years, we are grateful because God has been with us and has not left us nor forsaken us. We must always remember that are nothing without God, We are nothing without people. We are nothing if we think that we are so mighty that people must stop worshipping God and worship us. We are nothing if we start walking away from God,” Modise said.
She urged the church to pray against greed, corruption, manipulation, satanism, for incorruptible public servants, an end to political conflicts in Sudan, religious persecution and abduction of girl children in Nigeria. Premier Modise said that God is the one who establishes governments and will re-establish his government through the elections process.
