Midrand’s Andhra Sabha chairperson Sushie Moodley invites the community to join them for their last meeting of the year.

The group will meet on December 3 at Midland Primary and High School, in Crowthorne AH from 13:30 to close off the year. They will then converge again on January 14, 2023.

Andhra Sabha celebrates Deepavali (more commonly known as Diwali) festival which symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, and good over evil.
Moodley said the festival gets its name from the rows of lights in the evenings outside the homes of many Hindus, which symbolises the inner light that protects them from negative challenges and darkness.

She said in their meetings they hold upliftment talks while offering moral support to one another as a form of showing love and affection, amongst others.
“We would like to invite the Andhra community to join Midrand Andhra Sabha. We are living in highly troubled times of unbelievable life turbulences such as rapes and other social ills. It is important for each of us to love, appreciate and forgive each other,” said Moodley.
