David Geldart the Founder and CEO of the Bambisanani Partnership charity was recently invited to attend a Service of Thanksgiving to mark the 30th year of South Africa’s democracy at Westminster Abbey in London.

The service was conducted by the Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle, who said:

“We meet under God and in good company to give thanks for thirty years of democracy in South Africa. In 1994 South Africans held their first non-racial, democratic elections. After voting in those elections, Nelson Mandela spoke of ‘a new era of hope, reconciliation and nation building’. Thirty years down the long road to justice and righteousness we now honour those who have carried that flame and worked tirelessly in that cause. Giving thanks for their courage and their witness, we recommit ourselves to the vision of a nation free from domination of any kind. We pledge ourselves to effort and hope. Here we will pray for ourselves and for South Africa and the welfare of all her people.

Lord Boateng, A former British High Commissioner to South Africa, gave a passionate and inspiring Address to the 2000 strong international congregation that included Her Majesty Queen Nompumelelo Zulu.
