LCA hosted a fruitful annual conference - September 2019

The 2019 gathering of the Lemba Cultural Association (LCA) at Sweetwaters on Moddervlei Farm, outside Elim, marked the 60th conference of the association.
The event was well attended by hundreds of guests from all corners of South Africa.

The association's then General Secretary, Ishe Phineas Malima, urged the members to work harder towards building the LCA and developing their community.

He was quoted as saying: “We are not a second-class version as Lembas; hence we must strive towards full recognition as a people living in Southern Africa.”  

"If we are aware of the good works that our elders have done in this world, then we would live in peace, harmony and respect, so that we do not disgrace the Lemba community.”

He hinted that the Lembas recognise the existence and importance of youths in the LCA.

Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi, former Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture, was one of people who were recognised for outstanding services in the Lemba Cultural Association and a message of thanks was directed at all people who contributes to LCA in any form.

Then president of the Lemba Cultural Association, Ishe Pandelani Mutenda, thanked all members and dignitaries who had managed to attend the conference. “Let's continue to build the LCA and promote love, peace and harmony within the LCA,” he said and also sent well wishes for the youth for their upcoming exams...
