Rastafari Greetings, from South Afrika`s RCC secretariat to the first conference, election and inauguration of the RCC Afrikan Continental Executive Council.

Rastafari is moving progressively forward in this new dispensation, and the growth of the nation on the Motherland is seriously rising to higher highest as we have highly educated and Rasta sons and dawtas in most fields of professional jobs and enterprises. We are making unsurmountable contributions to the economy of our countries and uplifting the socio-economic development of the communities we live, as we are multi-faceted and diverse in our livity. This is why not just the Rastafari community is waiting for good governance from our own leadership, the majority of the world populations is waiting for the day we truly bring peace, love, equality and justice to the people as we have been the loudest voice the ball is now in our court.
All delegates are required to meet their own expenses for travel and accommodation. It`s very important you provide us with your airline arrival and departure times early to enable our shuttle transport to pick you up at the Cape town International Airport and the taken to the venue for registration and there after taken to your prearranged or to the accommodation of your affordability.
The same goes for delegates travelling by bus or train arrival times must be sent to us as early as possible.
Those who have booked flights only to Oliver Tambo International airport should book a connecting flight to Cape Town. You will find booking online works out cheaper and if done in advance can be as much as the bus ride from Johannesburg, which is an 18-hour journey by road to Cape Town.
