Archbishop Thabo Makgoba
The Truth will Set us Free – Faith Communities and Social Justice
4th Grootboom Lecture in Series on ‘Masithete – Let’s Talk!’
25 October 2010
Honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it is a great privilege to deliver the Social Justice Coalition’s 4th Grootboom Lecture.
This year’s theme, ‘Masithete – Let’s Talk’, with its focus on improving consultation and communication between communities and government, is a topic close to my heart.
That said, as an Archbishop, I find myself rephrasing the concept, by drawing on the words of Jesus, ‘The Truth will Set us Free’. This is the title I have chosen for my address.
The life of an Archbishop is very varied – far more varied than I had realised, before I found myself in Bishopscourt.
