District Prayer Held in Ward 2
Today the 14th of November 2024, Mayor Cllr. Thobani Shandu led a powerful intervention prayer against social ills and road carnages in our beloved iLembe District.
Reflecting on John F. Kennedyâs words, âAsk not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,â Mayor Shandu called on all of us to unite in prayer and action to combat poverty, unemployment, inequality, substance abuse, Gender-Based Violence, and road safety issues.
Letâs come together, guided by faith and community spirit, to make a positive change. As Hebrews 4:16 reminds us, âLet us then approach Godâs throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.â
May God bless our efforts and our district. Together, we can overcome any challenge.
