South Africa's Freedom Day 2012 celebration in New Zealand
AJ Rossouw, as a member of SINZASA, received an invitation from His Excellency, the South African High Commissioner, Mr Anthony Mongalo to attend a reception hosted in Wellington to celebrate South Africa’s Freedom Day.
The reception was held on 27 April 2012 and was well attended by New Zealand dignitaries and other dignitaries from various countries. During the reception, SINSAZA was approached with a request to arrange a meeting in Christchurch to constitute a committee to promote African Unity in general and more specifically with the view of planning ahead for the 50thAnniversary celebration of Africa Day due in 2013.
SINZASA members are in the process of arranging a meeting to constitute such a committee to represent people living in Canterbury, whilst similar initiatives will be rolled out for people living around Wellington and Auckland.
We will be working closely with the office of the South African High Commission in Wellington to report on the progress made with this project and we welcome the initiative set by His Excellency, the South African High Commissioner, Mr Anthony Mongalo.
In the meantime, SINZASA is also involved with the planning and celebration of Africa Day 2012 which is scheduled for Saturday, 26 May 2012 at St Albans Baptist Church, 64 McFaddens Road, Christchurch and indications are that we may expect a delegated person, attending the celebration on behalf of the office of the South African High Commission.
