(Trinidad Guardian) Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says there is now an increased sense of unity and purpose in T&T, thanks to her visit to South Africa with Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley. She made the statement on her return home on Thursday night. “I am sure that this, in part, has to do with citizens seeing my Government, the Opposition and other non-governmental organisations coming together with a common purpose,” she explained.
On her trip to Nelson Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa on Tuesday, the PM took with her, Rowley, Emancipation Support Committee head Khafra Kambon and a contingent of Caribbean leaders on a chartered Caribbean Airlines aircraft. On her return home Thursday, she said: “President Mandela’s enduring legacy shall serve as a guiding light to all of us as we journey upon a road towards inclusion and respect. “We too are capable of making a difference and bringing about the changes we want to see.”
