The head of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba says the legitimacy of every party elected to Parliament needs to be respected.
The cleric says unless politicians stop playing games of grandstanding and political one upmanship, democratic governance in South Africa is headed for a crisis.
In his Easter sermon, he highlighted global and local crises, including conflict, GBV and political dysfunction.

Makgoba says the account of the resurrection of Christ is a reminder to Christians that Easter brings hope and renewal.
“We live in a time when the civil war in Sudan continues without pause; when south Sudan teeters on the brink of a new civil war and when we look on in despair as Israel expands its occupation of Gaza, where not even those identifying themselves as medical personnel are safe from attack, and where the Israeli government gives every indication of pursuing ethnic cleansing with the collusion of the United States.”
