A
pair of praying hands along with a protea has been cast in stone in the serene surroundings of the Westridge Gardens. The monument of prayer was established in acknowledgement of Mitch-
ell’s Plain and the role it has played in drought relief efforts following a mass prayer for rain. The interfaith monument was built as a place for reflection, prayer and meditation, says Ashley Potts, a local pastor who was key in the establishment of the monument. The monument symbolises a reminder of the Its Time mass prayer efforts
conducted by Evangelist Angus Buchan during his visit to Cape Town in March last year. At the event, hundreds of thousands of people from across Cape Town came together to pray for rain in the height of the drought. “(At the event) at Swartklip Sports Field, (Buchan) made a prophecy and in that prophecy, Mitchell’s Plain was re-

ferred to as the ‘flower of Cape Town’,” says Potts. “Although this was funded by the Christian faith, this is not a religious monument. We want everyone to use it as a place for prayer and reflection in a tranquil space, surrounded by trees.” V Continued on page 3
