Migrants, Refugees & Xenophobia: What is the Church's Prophetic & Moral Role‪?‬ KZN Covid-19: Churches Respond

We have all seen the media and heard the discussions in the communities we lead - non-South African citizens are the target of anger, disappointment and frustration for many South Africans who are facing unemployment, poverty and hunger. Violence is on the rise with Afro-nationals fearing for safety of their families and livelihoods. Is there a role for the church at this moment? Do we turn a blind-eye given how much else we are dealing with in this season? Scripture suggests a radically different path is needed . And so what is our course of action?

In this panel discussion we were joined by Bishop Nathi Zondi (Executive, KZNCC) Pastor Robert Ntuli (Theology Team, KZN Covid-19 Churches Respond), Daniel Byamung Dunia (ASONET), Bishop Mataboro Samson (Key Ministries International), Zekhethelo Cele (Attorney, Lawyers for Human Rights), Pastor Tito Haguma (FORGE / UNHCR Social Cohesion Project), Solange Mbonigaba (Tearfund) and Peter Watt (SteerCom, KZN Covid-19 Churches Respond).
