THABAZIMBI – The Thabazimbi Local Municipality joined the whole world on Friday 28 June, in praying for the former President, Nelson Mandela.

The Mayor of Thabazimbi, councillors, officials and members of the community as well as pastors and Thabazimbi NGO converged at the Municipal building to pray for Nelson Mandela.

Mandela was admitted to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria with a recurring lung infection on June 8.

Pastor David Rangwetsi led prayer for Mandela, honouring the example he set and praying for him “at this critical moment in his life”. He prayed for the Mandela family and the people of South Africa to continue their “great journey of nation building”.

The society applauded the 94-year-old statesman for his “special qualities” as a leader and a “model of virtue, integrity and sincerity” concluded Mayor Mosito.

The Mayor urged community members to pray for Madiba at all times. The service concluded with a rendition of the gospel songs after Thabazimbi NGO members have lit a candle.

“Mandela not only led his people to victory against apartheid but also inspired all of humanity with his unwavering commitment to reconciliation and forgiveness.”
