Cape Town

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba of Cape Town has accused the world of practising “vaccine apartheid” and called for the poor and the marginalised to be vaccinated at the same rate as those living in wealthier countries.

Christians affirm that human beings are made in the image and likeness of God. Each human being who is raped by our violence, left to die by our lack of compassion, grieves the heart of God. For the sake of the memory of Anene, for the sake of her mother Corlia Olivier, for the sake of our humanity, let us stop this deathly illness in our society for the sake of our humanity, let us stop this deathly illness in our society.

Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba says that the formation of the UDF (United Democratic Front) was not only about political freedom, but became a critical part of his conscientisation. Makgoba said that he was proud to say that he was a child of the UDF, part of its undeniable, unquenchable legacy, part of the generation in whom the fires of hope burnt steadily and who took responsibility to pass it on,

Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba has urged the youth to become "angelic troublemakers".
