Pupils from Harry Bodasing Primary School in Stanger joined hands and took part in a peace walk on April 19, making a stand against the recent xenophobic violence in the country.
The peace walk was organised by the Dolphin Coast Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Teacher Shane Hanuman and some of the Harry Bodasing soul buddyz made banners with slogans like “Everyone deserves equality” and “No African is a foreigner in Africa” to make their point.
“It is so sad to see how our fellow brothers and sisters are being treated in our country. We should be a nation that spreads peace, hope, harmony, unity and love,” said Hanuman.
The walk started at the KwaDukuza Shoprite in the CBD and stopped at the town hall where MEC Willies Mchunu and mayor Ricardo Mthembu addressed the crowds.
They proceeded to walk through the city centre and back to the Shoprite.
“It was indeed a great feeling standing for what we believe in and I can only hope this outreach has played a part in bettering our tomorrow,” said Hanuman.
