The “interfaith service for peace” was convened by Cape Crisis, an informal association of faith-based organisations and institutions, trade unions and civil society representatives. 

The gathering comes after a week of violent protests in the metro, which claimed the lives of at least five people and saw large-scale destruction playing out.
