Bishop Oswald Swartz writes:
On Friday I joined the pupils of the
Grammar School on the Horseshoe as they became part of the wave of protest
against the atrocities perpetrated by Boko Haram in the abduction of girls from
their school in Nigeria.
It was good to see our young people being
conscientised about this very serious crime affecting all of humanity .While we
protested and pleaded for them to “Bring Back our Girls!” we also made it clear
that it was not just about Nigeria, but also about our girls here in Kimberley,
in our congregations and in Our Diocese and homes.
My prayer is that St Cyprian’s Grammar
School will always be a safe haven for our girl learners especially, that we
will not tolerate any type of bullying and that it will play a very positive
role in instilling good “gentlemanly” values in our boys. We pray that they
will be the generation that sets a solid platform for the respect for women and
children and that the world will be a better and safer place because of our
efforts in our own school.
