From Southern Africa-
Bishop Luke Lungile Pato of the Anglican Diocese of Namibia says
leaders of the faith community can play an important role in supporting
efforts to eliminate malaria because of their close connection with the
grassroots.
“It is important for faith leaders and churches be involved in
combating malaria. Churches are present in communities. They are
trusted, respected and active everywhere. Churches extend the reach of
existing national services and can use their experiential knowledge of
the local context to identify and take action against the specific local
drivers of malaria,” the Bishop said.
Pato is one of four southern African Anglican bishops who have
declared war on malaria which the World Health Organisation (WHO) says
still kills approximately 445 000 people globally annually. More than
90 percent of these deaths occur in Africa and children form a
significant percentage of people who die of malaria in Africa.

From Black Opinion-
As an Anglican and a priest in God’s Holy Church, I hung my head in shame and utter disgust as I watched the “sermon” delivered by the Archbishop of Cape Town and Metropolitan of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, The Most Rev. Dr. Cecil Thabo Makgoba, in St George’s Cathedral, Cape Town on Christmas Eve.
When one expected to hear a sermon on the baby in the manger, the shepherds watching their flocks or the angelic host singing Gloria In Exelsis Deo, the whole Archbishop raved and rented about how Cyril Ramaphosa should immediately remove President Jacob Zuma. It was abominable to say the least. What made it most disgusting was that it was shouted from a pulpit, where the gospel of the Christ child should be preached.
We can stomach it if he calls TV cameras to record him toyi-toying with university students on the fees must fall campaign, but the pulpit should be respected for what it is, and what it is meant for. On what authority is the Archbishop giving orders to the African National Congress (ANC)?
