Organised jointly by the Gurdwara Sahib, Johannesburg, the Sikh Council of Africa, Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL), and Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha, the event brought together Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and African Traditional Religion leaders.

Harbinder Singh Sethi, founder of Johannesburg’s only gurdwara, said all religions, while having different rituals, had the same essence. “We are all children of the Divine, called to serve, uplift and protect one another,” Sethi said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
