The World March for Peace and Non Violence has already begun...

It all started in New Zealand, on 2 October 2009 and is making it's way across the globe. This particular date was chosen as it marks the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth and was declared the "International Day of  Non-Violence" by the United Nations in 2007.

The March will continue for 90 days through all climates and seasons until it reaches the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010.

Numerous respected international personalities have endorsed this World March, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Penelope Cruz, Bryan Adams, Yoko Ono, Philip Glass and Art Garfunkel, to name a few.

Here in Cape Town, the South African Peace Alliance will be hosting our part in this global March. Pack a picnic and join us for a peaceful walk in nature this Saturday, 7 November 2009. The starting point is at the Kloof Nek parking lot.  We will be walking to Deer Park, along the Jeep Track, where all may enjoy their picnic lunch during the Public Peace Forum.

Please note: SANParks has requested that walkers park at Kloof Nek parking lot - no parking available at Deer Park.

All are most welcome to join in and be part of this momentous occasion, so please bring along your families and friends of all ages. (Suitable for all levels of fitness)
