The year started off early, with already requests for the Associations involvement in the centenary celebration for our freedom, democracy and human rights.
On 8th January 2012, it will be 100 years for the existence of the ANC. A political party that was initiated in 1912 to fight for its freedom , racial discrimation , democracy and human rights. An achievement admired worldwide!
It is fitting that we too, as an Association take joy in this celebration, as it was precisely because of this that we are in existence today.
We pay tribute to Sweden, the relationship between Olof Palme and O.R Tambo and thousands that followed in both countries that stood steadfast in the quest for this freedom, died for this freedom and many survived.
The struggle for our freedom is not over, as with mankind, it will never be over as the needs daily is to make a conscious effort in the fight for democracy.
We have to always keep the fires burning and hold hands with all persons, civil or political and march on in making our contribution. Our Assocaition is well placed within this context.
We also started the year with individuals from Sweden wanting to make some financial contribution/ donation to much needy projects. One of our key local project is " PUT A SMILE ON THE FACES OF CHILDREN" You will be kept informed of progress via this blog.
Welcome to all members, institutions and friends to our course: nation building, empowerment, local and international solidarity and human rights.
Finally, we thank all persons and organisations that have made a contribution to our Association.
