A member of the TLW-SA team was invited as a debater on the SABC 1 youth show called "The Chatroom". The topic given was "Are one-night stands okay?" |
This year's Abstinence Walk started off in Durban on 8 June 2003!
True Love Waits was, once again, invited to take part in the Abstinence Walk, organised by the Durban Christian Centre, starting in Durban and ending in Emphangeni on 13 June. |
A youth organization was formed in the area to assist the youth in combating the problems that they come across. They hold different events on holidays and other days to provide the local youth with some sort of recreation. |
Four true-love-waiters held a week of TLW-meetings at schools in Vereeniging and surrounding towns. Mrs Hannie du Preez, who also hosted some of the team, and Mr Henri Slabbert arranged the meetings. Mr and Mrs Potgieter hosted the rest of the team. |
True Love Waits was invited by the Durban Christian Centre and the Hope Clinic in Durban to join the media launch for this year’s Abstinence Walk which will take place on 8 – 13 June 2003. The proposed route for the Walk will be from Durban to Empangeni. |
True Love Waits South Africa is taking part in the Abstinence Walk Challenge from Port Shepstone to Pietermaritzburg via Durban. |
2002 was kicked off, TLW-wise, with a trip to a rather hot Donnybrook and neighbouring Eastern Cape. A small team of 4 TLW-ers took a week off work to take the TLW message to the South African outback, complete with potholed, stony and sometimes muddy roads... |
On Friday 14 September, five eager True Love Waiters left for Redhill, Durban. Miraculously we didn't get lost - even though we turned into a private home, thinking it was the church! Quickly realising our mistake, we spotted the beautiful church building. Upon our arrival we discovered that we were half an hour early - having even arrived before the church keys...and so TLW waited for the first time that night. |
Whenever you hear the name Kalahari, you imagine a scene of red sand dunes and dessert-like emptiness. But it was the privilege of True Love Waits to visit even this remote part of our country in the far Northern Cape from 10 – 15 June 2001. |
We knew the night would be long, but we didn't anticipate how long. The numbers seemed impossibly massive - the 300 000 we expected. |
It was to the historically famous township of Soweto, that 6 TLW-ers went for a 3-day tour of 5 schools. Ralph, Sbongeleni, Andries and Jerusha drove up to Soweto in the new TLW vehicle. There, they were joined by Jabu and Viyeka. |
The trip was a great success and our message was very warmly accepted, as were we. We presented two skits, the TLW message and an Aids awareness message to a community of Xhosa's in the hills of the Eastern Cape at Lusikisiki (don't worry, I hadn't heard of it either), which is near Port St Johns. |
On 28 March 2001 a team set out to Wentworth, Durban. At each of the 3 schools and the `home of safety' we visited, the presentation was opened with the well-known, easily-interpreted "True Love Waits" mime - a proven attention-gripper:The handling of a big symbolic pearl, signifying purity and virginity, portrays 3 different girls' valuation of their gift. |
On 4 March, 8 TLW-ers took time off office work, teaching and farming for a week of TLW meetings in different schools, university and technikon campuses. We were also joined by a TLW-er from Australia. |
