Archbishop Makgoba sceptical over SA’s vaccine rollout plan

Administrator Articles

JOHANNESBURG - Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba said he was sceptical of how the COVID-19 vaccine rollout would progress in South Africa.

Makgoba was preaching at the Easter vigil at St George's Cathedral, in Cape Town on Saturday night.

“The United States has vaccinated about 16% of its population while we have covered less than half a percent of ours. And many countries haven’t seen vaccines at all.”

He has also accused the world of practising “vaccine apartheid” and called for the poor and the marginalised to be inoculated at the same rate as those living in wealthier countries.

Early morning in Alexandra

Early morning in Alexandra. The sky here is just as blue and the morning just as crisp as in Sandton. The hair salon is already open, yards are being cleaned and cars are being fixed. Here you can get a hearty breakfast of a russian, polony & chips for just R17,50. Despite the difficult circumstances and numerous challenges, people here are carving out a life for themselves.

Introduction

There are a number of famous Christian pulpits globally, for example the one in the Riverside Church in New York and Martin Luther’s pulpit in Wittenberg. When one shifts the focus to the continent of Africa, there are thriving African Independent and neo-Pentecostal churches such as Action Chapel in Ghana, or Moria, the headquarters of the Zion Christian Church in South Africa. These newer churches are thriving across Africa, as well as in South Africa, and the older mainline churches are in serious decline. Yet, we are convinced that to this day the most famous and still very active pulpit in South Africa, is the one in St. George’s Cathedral in Cape Town.

‘Politics and the Church — Acting Incarnationally’: Reflections of an Archbishop

Administrator Articles

In January 2009, I addressed a consultation of South African church leaders, gathered to debate how we might face the challenges before us this year. These challenges range from an upcoming general elections through to long-term issues of social justice, poverty, health and development, as well as questions of morality, values and ethics in public and provate life.
