David Miscavige Heralds the “New African Century” at Opening of New Home for Church of Scientology
Saturday, November 2, 2003, the Church of Scientology of Johannesburg opened the doors of its new headquarters in Kensington, the hub of Scientology activity in South Africa. More than 1,400 guests and well-wishers — government and religious leaders, human rights champions, celebrities and professionals, church members and friends — came from all over Africa and from many countries to celebrate the landmark dedication.
Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Centre, capped the lineup of honored guest speakers, each of whom recognized South Africa’s Scientologists for their indomitable spirit and historical achievements.
“You don’t just represent the hopes and dreams of a continent, you represent the hopes and dreams of all civilization,” David Miscavige told the Scientologists and dignitaries attending the grand opening, “And, if South Africa dreams of a Rainbow Nation, then, Africa, here is your church — a church where, regardless of color, regardless of creed, regardless of social standing, you are welcome. “Because,” he concluded, “we are not white. We are not black. We are all one to another brothers of humankind.”
