On Saturday a group of Afrikaans-speaking people gathered in Brisbane, Australia, to pray for the future of South Africa.

The event, organised by the Afrikaans Club Australia, took place at St Laurence’s College in Brisbane.

“We pray that the Lord will bring righteousness, peace and hope for our beloved South Africa,” was the theme of the gathering.
