re Letter : AN APPEAL TO THE STATE, TO DECLARE  BABE JACK MATLALA FUNERAL A STATE FUNERAL

Dear Minister Fikile Mbalula

 

HBR Foundation is a non-political aligned organisation, which represent the interest of communities and civil organization in South Africa. We hereby appeals to the State and your office in particular and those in the provincial and local government, to declare the funeral of the Late Babe Jake a State funeral.

It is in the best interest of the country, and the African continent , that the State should lead its nations and pride itself with its people, by taking a decision which will encourage South Africans in politics, sports and  other spheres of life to be active participant that advances the country to greater heights.

It is such decision the State should take to unify all South Africans, that will revive the spirit of greatness in South African like the spirit of the late champ Babe Jake Matlala, who took the country to greater heights in regards to sports, who united the nation during reconciliation times through sports, and gave us all hope, which made this country to be a proud democratic and prosperous country, we are today.

The decision for the State to assume responsibility of the fully planning and organizing the boxing legend Mr. Babe Jake Matlala funeral, will further indicate to the people of the country and the world  that when people serve our country with devotion and pride, that  our country which is the Republic of South Africa  will forget you not …

South Africa has been blessed, and the blessing is of great nature that we cannot be found to have to choose one over the other but to accept that indeed the country has been blessed.

Once a great leader said I quote : “Sport has the power to change the world…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers.”  -Nelson Mandela (unquote)

I would like to add by saying - “Greatness comes in different heights, shapes and causes, in different spheres but can co- exists in the same Era”

Hope our appeal will be granted

Thanks In anticipation
