    St Matthew-in-the-City to acknowledge anniversary of Mandela visit

    October 15, 2014

    On 13 and 14 November, iconic Auckland church St-Matthew-in-the-City will host two events to commemorate the 19th Anniversary of the often-recalled visit of President Nelson Mandela. 

     

    On 13 November 1995 President Nelson Mandela came to St Matthew-in-the-City to thank the anti-apartheid movement and the people of Aotearoa for their support of the freedom struggle in South Africa. President Mandela spoke to a large crowd from the St Matthew’s pulpit.

     

    In the year following President Mandela’s death, St Matthew’s wishes both to honour and remember that day, along with Mandela’s work and message. The events aim to address the current state of social, racial and economic justice in New Zealand.

     

    Of the commemorations Vicar of St Matthew-in-the-City Rev Dr Helen Jacobi said, “St Matt’s is a place where the people from anywhere in Auckland can come to worship or simply reflect on the issues of the day. With these two events we want to engage in conversation about the abiding relevance of President Mandela’s legacy for our country and our city, and inspire another generation of leaders with President Mandela’s vision of a more just and peaceful world.”

     

    Thursday 13 November 2014, 7.30pm - 9pm

    Remembering the day Madiba came

    Koha to attend

    HE Zodwa Lallie, High Commissioner for South Africa, will discuss how 20 years of freedom has impacted South Africa and how the country is now living up to Mandela’s vision of justice, reconciliation and peace.

     

    There will also be special performances and refreshments.

     

    Friday 14 November 2014, 7.30am - 9.00am

    Living the Vision – business and Mandela’s legacy
