Charly’s Bakery planned fanwalk for Peace and Unity on Mandela day 18th July 2010.
Posted by Celia Walter | 14 Jul, 2010Cape Town is hosting the Ubuntu festival this weekend culminating in Mandela Day on Sunday 18th July. Jacqui Biess & her daughters, Alex, Daniella & Roche of Charly’s Bakery are calling for Capetonians to join us on the Cape Town Fan Walk for our walk for Peace and Unity to celebrate our Tata Nelson Madiba Mandela’s 92nd birthday and to honour his legacy and to say NO to Xenophobic violence.
South Africans experienced a month of magic. We felt alive, united and inspired. We felt safe. We walked the streets of Cape Town for the 1st time in years and felt the magic of our city. Our relationship with our country & and our people grew to new heights. We fell in love with our country again. This walk is not political, it’s not about blame, it is about keeping the gees & unity of the World Cup alive...opening our hearts and keeping South African unity a reality.
Our planned route starts off at St George’s Cathedral, moves along St George’s mall, and links up with the bridge which crosses over Buitengracht street, which crosses over onto Somerset road and then past the Cape Quarter into Green Point.
So please join us from 12-2 on the fan walk, bring your friends and families and anyone else who would like to join, and show your support for peace and human rights.
Let us not close our hearts and our homes to our people. We ALL screamed our lungs out for Africa & all Africans and let the tears roll as we saw Ghana lose to Uruguay. Let us hold onto Africa proudly saying “These are OUR people!”
Our Tata has shown us what it means to be free and to be able to live without fear of being who you are. He did it for 67 years, we can do it for 67 minutes.
To celebrate what Madiba has inspired in our nation, we are inviting people to join us for a Fan Walk for Peace & Unity in order to say NO to further xenophobic violence.
