For the first time in the history of the Christian Religion, DA Council staged a lock up barring several churches from having their early morning Easter Sunday Graveyard Service to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Cars lining Lustigan drive and Jan Van Riebeek road to the gates of the cemetery had to turn back because the gates were locked and as usual Gesie Van Deventer (Drakenstein Mayor) were no where to be found. I bet she was relaxing on some or other resort not giving a rats ass about her town folk....
Disappointed church goers voiced their frustration and sad disappointment with the DA councils ignorance and arrogance. This is a clear indication that present DA council DOES NOT CARE about communities and its traditions EAST of the Bergriver.
The security guards changed shift but were not prepared to open the gates. Traditionally, the cemetery is open on Sundays for families/visitors to pay their respects and to visit the graves of their loved ones. The situation on Sunday was a shocker and a FIRST for Paarl. No explanation or apology from the DA council can rectify what happened to Christians on Sunday.
What should have been the highlight of the Easter Weekend was turned into bitter disappointment. I think its quite sad that the minority ignore the traditions of the majority without prior consultation or notification.
SHAME ON YOU GESINA VAN DEVENTER AND THE DA!!!!!!!!!!
