On Wednesday, April 16 we invite you to join us in a powerful and unifying event — the March of Hope organised by Good Hope Christian Centre. On this day, we will gather as a community, raising our voices and lifting our prayers for our city, our nation, and our own lives. This is more than a march; it is a protest, a prayer walk, and a bold declaration of hope in the face of adversity.
Capetonians are invited to join the March of Hope through central Cape Town on Wednesday April 16, say the organisers, Good Hope Christian Centre.
The march will begin at the Castle of Good Hope, continue to the Houses of Parliament, proceed down Adderley Street, pause outside City Hall, and return to the Castle. Marchers will start gathering from 11am to begin marching at 12.30pm.
Leading the way will be marchers portraying Jesus, carrying His cross, Mary, biblical figures, religious leaders, and Roman soldiers, providing a vivid reminder of the betrayal of Jesus and the false accusations, and unjust judgment against him.
“We march in His footsteps, identifying with His suffering, for we too see betrayal, corruption, and failure in our time,” say the organisers.

Pastor Wendy McDonald founder and senior pastor of Good Hope Christian Centre, says: “Now more than ever, Cape Town needs hope. This march is not just an event; it’s a declaration that Jesus is the answer for our city. We believe in a future filled with hope, and we invite everyone to stand with us.”
in a press release, Good Hope Christian Centre says:”We march to confront government corruption, mismanagement, fraud, and the destruction of lives through violence and lack of education. We march to challenge a religious system that has too often failed the people in their darkest hours. We march in hope and prayer, trusting that as we walk together in this season of Lent and the Passover, God will hear us and heal our land.
“This is a moment to stand together — to remember Jesus, to pray for our families, and to seek forgiveness and renewal in our own hearts. As we walk, we carry the hope that our nation can rise above its struggles, that our city can be a place of peace and opportunity, and that our lives can reflect the love and grace of Christ.
“Bring your voice, your prayers, and your courage. Walk with us as we cry out for justice, as we lift up our brokenness, and as we dare to believe in a better tomorrow. This is your chance to be part of something bigger — a movement of hope that begins with us, right here in Cape Town.
Let’s march together. Let’s pray together. Let’s hope together.”
