Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa - September 26, 2024 —

This week, in an event that will be etched into the hearts of many, Castle Kyalami played host to a monumental celebration of unity, empowerment, and humanitarian leadership. Over 600 individuals—leaders from across all sectors of society—graduated from a skills development programme offered by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers. This wasn’t just a graduation; it was the culmination of lives transformed, communities inspired, and a renewed commitment to creating lasting change throughout the African continent.

This epic event marked a historic milestone for the Volunteer Ministers program, now boasting an incredible number of more than 30,000 strong across South Africa. These new graduates represented a tapestry of society, including religious leaders, government officials, police officers, educators, and community advocates, all coming together with a shared vision: to uplift their communities and be a beacon of hope in a world often fraught with adversity.

What made this gathering even more profound was the sheer determination and dedication of those in attendance. Among them, a group of 30 pastors who had traveled over six hours from the Northern Cape, underscoring the unbreakable spirit of those committed to this humanitarian cause. Their journey was a testament to the transformative power of this program and the deep desire to carry its teachings into the farthest reaches of the nation.

These 600 graduates now join the ranks of thousands who have taken the step not only to better themselves but to extend a hand to others. As official Scientology Volunteer Ministers, their mission is one of service, sacrifice, and leadership. They are equipped with vital tools—solutions designed to empower individuals, uplift entire communities, and foster resilience in the face of life's toughest challenges. Armed with this knowledge, these leaders will now go forth into their communities, actively training others in the principles and using their new knowledge to improve conditions.

As the celebration unfolded, the room echoed with stories of courage, service, and dedication. Hundreds of graduates were called to the stage and honored with special commendations for their contributions. These volunteers have been at the forefront of bringing Scientology’s life-changing solutions to their communities, breaking barriers, healing divisions, and inspiring others to step into leadership roles of their own.

In one of the most emotional moments of the evening, Pastor Mzi Mlambo, a towering figure in South Africa’s interfaith movement, presented a framed acknowledgement to L. Ron Hubbard and the Volunteer Ministers. Pastor Mlambo, who has introduced Scientology’s technology to his entire interfaith forum, has trained hundreds of religious leaders in these groundbreaking techniques, impacting lives across countless congregations and communities and increasing his Church attendance. His presence at the ceremony, along with his group of 30 pastors who traveled tirelessly to witness this historic moment, was a powerful reminder of the far-reaching impact of the Volunteer Ministers program. The framed tribute was more than just a token of appreciation; it was a symbol of unity, collaboration, and the shared goal of a brighter future.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers are a growing force for good. From disaster relief to addressing everyday struggles, these volunteers bring practical help and real solutions to the people who need them most. They serve without boundaries, fueled by compassion and driven by a belief that every individual deserves the chance to lead a better life.

The celebration at Castle Kyalami was a defining moment—a moment where lives intertwined with a single purpose: to create lasting, positive change. As each graduate stepped forward to accept their place as a Scientology Volunteer Minister, they carried with them not just the knowledge of practical solutions but the hope of an empowered Africa.

As the sun set on this extraordinary evening, the graduates and their families left Castle Kyalami knowing that this was just the beginning. The future of Africa’s leadership is in the hands of those who choose to serve, and the Volunteer Ministers are leading the charge. With every skill they impart, every life they touch, and every community they uplift, they carry forward the legacy of empowerment that will shape generations to come.

“Together, we are building a future where knowledge is the antidote to despair, and unity is the foundation for lasting peace and prosperity,” said concluded Sandile Hlayisi, Chairperson of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
