Prayers for township peace
By TMG Editor - 30 May 2014
NELSON Mandela Bay politicians and business, community and religious leaders will hold a massive prayer service on Sunday at the hub of New Brighton, Embizweni Square, to deal with violence in the township.
The leaders have formed a peace- keeping committee to bring back the spirit of ubuntu in the iconic township, which has been gripped by a gang war for weeks.
At least five people have been killed while four more were injured and are recovering in hospital.
Businessman Khusta Jack, a coordinator of the Metro Movement for Peace, said the committee had been formed to get people to stand up against the escalating violence and senseless killings in New Brighton. - Thulani Gqirana
