Abp calls for human chain to honour Mandela

Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town Dr Thabo Makgoba today (Wednesday 18 September 2013) called on South Africans to join him in Pretoria to form a human chain and pledge to honour the values of Nelson Mandela. He made the call as part of his commitment to reflect and act on these. The Archbishop believes that all South Africans should celebrate these values, which are part of their heritage, especially in preparation for Heritage Day
this Tuesday 24 September 2013.

Freedom Park in Pretoria has taken responsibility to organize the human chain from 12 midday till 1307(67 minutes) on Friday as part of the symbolic effort to create a space for all South Africans, especially young South
Africans, to understand the enormous legacy set by Tata Madiba.

The Archbishop will be joined by representatives of universities and religious leaders across faiths. They will join hands together then read out a pledge at 1230, committing each one to furthering the dream and values of
Madiba, for which so many fought and died.
