- L. Ron Hubbard honoured at Tribute Event –
At a packed Sandton Convention Center pavilion in Johannesburg, South Africa, Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike, celebrated the Birthday of Scientology Founder and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. The event opened with a performance by celebrity singer, MXO and was attended by a number of regional and local dignitaries.
“Illiteracy, drug abuse, crime and moral decline are effectively being dealt with in areas where L. Ron Hubbard’s technologies are being applied,” said Paul Sondergaard, Director of External Affairs for the Church in Africa, “the evidence of this was clearly communicated at this gala event.”
So too was the official announcement of the acquisition of the famous Johannesburg landmark, the Kyalami Castle by the Church of Scientology.
“This is a culmination of expansion plans since our purchases of new buildings in Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and a second building in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.” Sondergaard added. “We have had to move one further step up in establishing an Advanced Scientology retreat in South Africa due to the increasing demand here for such religious services.”
The gala event included a briefing on the young life of L. Ron Hubbard and his travels, adventures and research throughout the East as well as his beginnings of Dianetics and Scientology. It culminated in the official announcement of the Advanced Retreat purchased for South Africa and the presentation of a free DVD of the recently launched scientology Video Site at http://www.scientology.org/.
