Mmametlhake, Mpumalanga, South Africa - September 26, 2024 —

Uniting Tribal Leaders, Educators, Religious Figures, and the Community in an effort to combat social ills. 

Mpumalanga – The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Cavalcade made its highly anticipated grand opening in Mmametlhake, Mpumalanga Province last week, marking a significant milestone for the region as 117 esteemed guests gathered for a day that will forever be etched in the community’s history. From Tribal Authority representatives to firefighters, religious leaders, educators, and community leaders, this vibrant event attracted a diverse crowd, united by a shared mission to uplift and empower their community.

In a grand gesture of support, the Cavalcade was graciously hosted at Mmamatli Secondary School, strategically chosen for its central location, ensuring accessibility to all members of the village. The venue was meticulously prepared by none other than the Chief of the area, whose personal involvement and endorsement of the Volunteer Ministers program underscored the importance of the initiative. The Chief’s alignment with the Volunteer Ministers and his enthusiasm in welcoming the Cavalcade brought an air of excitement and optimism to the proceedings.

The event began in the most authentic way possible – with a traditional local Tribal Dance, a vibrant and culturally rich performance historically reserved for special celebrations. The audience watched with awe as the dancers performed with grace and precision, setting the tone for a day of community unity and upliftment. This beautiful display of local culture honored the occasion and celebrated the spirit of partnership between the Scientology Volunteer Ministers and the people of Mpumalanga.

Following the dance, the crowd was introduced to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program, providing a comprehensive overview of the program’s global impact and its vision for the future in South Africa. The introduction captured the hearts and minds of all in attendance, creating a palpable sense of anticipation as the speakers prepared to take the stage.

The first speaker to address the eager audience was Mrs. Dikeledi Joyce Makhafola, a distinguished representative of the Tribal Authority. In her heartfelt address, she conveyed the Chief’s blessings and officially welcomed the Cavalcade to Mmametlhake. Her words carried the weight of the Tribal Authority’s support and affirmed the community’s excitement about the opportunities the Volunteer Ministers would bring to their region.

Mrs. Makhafola was followed by Pastor Sambo Jabulile Happy Kolonda, a prominent Community Development Worker representing the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) and a dedicated member of Parliament for Mmametlhake. Pastor Kolonda’s involvement with the Volunteer Ministers began in 2020, during the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown. Since then, she has led a steadfast and reliable community development group, consistently providing support to those in need throughout the pandemic. 

The closing speech was delivered by Community Leader Mr. Michael Ntshodisane, who recently completed his Volunteer Ministers training and brought his newfound passion and energy to the stage. Mr. Ntshodisane captivated the audience with a powerful motivational speech, igniting excitement and enthusiasm for the future of the program in Mmametlhake. 

With the speeches concluded, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived – the ceremonial ribbon-cutting that would officially welcome the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Cavalcade to Mmametlhake. As the ribbon was cut, the crowd erupted into applause, marking the beginning of what promises to be a transformative chapter for the Mpumalanga Province.

Immediately following the ceremony, the audience moved into the Cavalcade tent for a specialized seminar focused on Community Development. The seminar, led by the highly skilled Volunteer Ministers team, addressed critical issues affecting the region and provided practical solutions for long-term improvement. Participants were actively engaged, asking thoughtful questions and eagerly absorbing the knowledge shared.

The grand opening of the Cavalcade in Mmametlhake is not just a local event but a part of a global movement. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program created by L. Ron Hubbard, is committed to providing practical tools for addressing everyday problems and helping individuals take control of their lives. From disaster relief to community development, the Volunteer Ministers have made an extraordinary impact across the world, and now, that same force for good has arrived in Mpumalanga.
