It was a DEISI – South African based Christian organisation that promotes the ethos housed within its name – to Defend, Embrace, Invest in, and Support Israel – event. In its second year, this event also focused on the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
In attendance were kings, queens, princes, princesses, chiefs, members of Parliament, pastors, judges and many other influential and notable individuals, but most important of all, friends.
Every detail was attended to, from the magnificent colourful costumes and perfectly choreographed dance routines, to the moving and inspiring words of every eloquent and outstanding speaker from both the Christian and Jewish communities.
Deputy Ambassador to Israel Ayelet Black, reiterated this in her address to the audience and thanked DEISI and the entire Meshoe family for the support and assistance they have given her in the country in her role.
Olga Meshoe, DEISI founder and daughter of Reverend Kenneth Meshoe, leader of the ACDP, moved the audience with her endearing charm, immaculate delivery and overwhelming sincerity. Reverend Meshoe also gave a deeply inspiring and stirring address.
