Urban Kasi Revolution, a non profit organisation (NPO) based in Philippi East, Lower Crossroads, hosted a candle prayer service on Sunday 30 October for Grade 12 learners from the surrounding schools.
The prayer was at Vuyiseka Sport Centre.
It was organised to seek divine intervention and to ensure that the leaners pass their matric examinations and cast away evil spirits.
The year had been a tough one for some Grade 12 learners with reports ungodly spirits at their schools.
In some instances, learners complained about headaches and fits, incidents that we associated with evil spirits.
With the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations getting underway on Monday 31 October, learners from schools such as Phakama, Vuyiseka, and Sinethemba Secondary School attended the ceremony.
The NPO aims to assist learners from the less fortunate communities by ensuring that they are issued with Identity Documents (ID’s).
With the organisation’s slogan “Committed to break the chains of poverty”, executive member Monde Seti, said the organisation’s vision is to help the downtrodden in different communities.
“Our government is not coming closure to communities so to understand their needs and many lack a knowledge about their rights. As the organisation we want bridge that gap and take our people to the right direction,” he said.
Seti said soon they will be working with an organisation to train young people in skills such as plumbing and electricity to put food onto their tables.
“We know not every kid will be good at school, and those learners end up abandoning learning.
“We want those learners to be trained in different skills that can equip them to have something to fall on.”
