”We are already respected as a nation for the contribution we have made to peace in the world, so what can stop us to make another springboard in the fight against violence on women and children,” Charles Nqakula, previous Minister of Safety and Security.

What began several years ago with a single table on the slopes of Table Mountain, where South Africans from all walks of life shared a gourmet luncheon together to embrace peace and unity, has now grown to accommodate people across our country.

The Table of Peace and Unity sponsored by Spekko Rice, will take place on Sunday 17 May at 12:00 hosts official tables at Freedom Park in Pretoria, Polokwane Game Reserve, Cape Town’s Table Mountain, the Botanical Gardens in Durban as well as at Victoria Park in the friendly city of Port Elizabeth.
