A GROUP of prominent religious leaders have warned President Jacob Zuma that if leaders did not act to stop the moral decay in the country, the church movement would mobilise civil society to “bring about a more healthy democracy”.
The group, including Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, of Church Leaders Consultation, said in a letter to Zuma that South Africans yearned for new leadership to restore hope amid growing unhappiness about leaders who had “lost their moral compass”.
“During apartheid, some church leaders wrote to political leaders, but they often failed to listen to these voices,” they said.
