MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT THABO MBEKI TO THE GREEK COMMUNITY
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to offer a sincere word of greeting and commendation to the South African Greek community on the occasion of the 12th promotional blood drive hosted by the New Pan Hellenic Voice. The Greek community has shown resourceful commitment to the South African democracy in many effective ways, and they have been exemplary in meeting their obligations as citizens of a free country. The success of this blood clinic is but one of the manifestations of the way this community - working with bodies such as the South African National Blood Service as well as community radio in Greece - has gone the second mile in seeking to bring happiness and relief to others. It is propitious that this event should take place as none other than the President of Greece undertakes a State Visit to our country as our guest- it will no doubt be a cause of pride and gratification to His Excellency - as indeed it is to all South Africans - to note Greek-backed achievements notched up in this area of enormous and growing public need. South Africans salute that remarkable and historic country, Greece, a staunch partner in so many causes pursued by our own country. We also salute the combined efforts of the people of the Hellenic republic to make our world a better place for all against the ravages of illness, tragedy and want.
