The side event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, under the theme ‘We Are One’, distinguished youth leaders from southern Africa urgently call on the SADC heads and secretariat to engage youth on pressing issues pertaining to peace and security in the region.
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) chairman, Man Hee Lee, arrived in Johannesburg on 9 August and was welcomed at OR Tambo International Airport by number of young South Africans.
The HWLP was founded by Lee, who is a war veteran. It is active in 111 countries, including 40 countries in Africa. The southern African headquarters is in Cape Town.
“The purpose of my visiting here in Africa is to create positive and lasting change internationally, through uniting major youth associations around the world,” Lee said.
“We support the development of their communities through promoting peace and encouraging them to set the example in educating and motivating their nation's active pursuit of peace.”
HWPL has two wings, the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG), which both play a role in achieving global peace.
The IPYG focuses on the role young people can play in making sure achieving peace is a priority in their countries.
It has been active in peace promotion in the land of the Brave, after the group collaborated with Namibia’s National Youth Council and the Namibia Youth Development Organisation.
This was done by spearheading the ‘We Are One’ intergenerational dialogue in support and recognition of this year's 38th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit of Heads of State and Government, under theme ‘Promoting infrastructure development and youth empowerment for sustainable development’.
“For world peace to become a reality this is the duty of all youth, everywhere. The only way to stop the fighting and the pointless, tragic deaths is to stop fighting,” he said.
