South Africa: ‘Opportunity for gospel’

Siegfried Ngubane

The inconclusive result of the recent South African election is a great opportunity for the gospel, an evangelical leader says.

The vote means that the African National Congress (ANC) will invite other political parties to form a government of national unity. The ANC, whose leader is President Cyril Ramaphosa, has been in power since the end of apartheid in 1994. But Siegfried Ngubane, Presiding Bishop of the Reformed Evangelical Anglican Church of South Africa (REACH SA) is optimistic when it comes to evangelism.

Ramaphosa called for a national dialogue to help rebuild social cohesion in South Africa, after what he called a ‘toxic and divisive’ election campaign.
