The Anglican Church of Southern Africa says change must be accelerated at schools. This comes after a number of pupils from different schools across the country have exposed the levels of racism they feel they have experienced throughout their learning.
Archbishop Thabo Makgoba said the church acknowledged the anger by some in the schools.
Davos, Switzerland | AFP | – What do a rabbi, an archbishop, a top Islamic academic and former British prime minister Tony Blair have in common?
Quite a lot, it turned out, at an unusual panel on religion at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, where they found shared ground on extremism, violence and freedom of expression in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo killings in Paris.
In a wide-ranging debate that took in conflicts in the Middle East, Nigeria, Central African Republic as well as the recent Paris attacks, the panel all agreed on one unfortunate fact: there’s nothing new under the sun.
‘We will overcome this and we’ll realise we are a communion of nations more than we think,’ says Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Dr Thabo Makgoba.
