Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town Thabo Makgoba has called on government to focus on addressing what he terms the real problems of the country instead of internal party politics.

He addressed the congregation of St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town during his annual Christmas eve sermon.“We hear too little of sacrificial service from our nation’s leaders and too much of using political influence to secure personal and family advancement. South Africans need to see their government focus on fixing joblessness and load shedding, among them,” says Makgoba.

The Archbishop recently visited the Ukrainian Catholic University. He has been calling on the South African government to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I like to travel, watch football, have adventures. If we have the same interests. Then you can contact me.

It's very unfortunate that a 'man of God' who have direct access to the ruling elite would choose to use populist approach to share his concerns. If direct engagement did not work then and only then can he use public platform to advise his followers to vote out the ANC

He must stick to Monelo

He must call a spade a spade and not real issues.

Fotsek Lemenemene

At least now everyone knows who the likes of Makgoba and Desmond Tutu represents

But will they listen?

This one is foolish, he must not say government but ANC.

The only thing they are capable of addressing is their Bank Accounts

This is sage advice by the Archbishop The government has to channel its energies towards addressing challenges facing the country instead of being immersed in internal politics of the ANC

Should he not focus his attention on nourishing his congregation? Why make political speeches from the pulpit? Rather join politics if that’s your passion.

Bishop please pray to God to do that, not this government! We need prayer not to beg government

This thing must be recall as a counsel of churches representative

Tell That Prepaid Bishop To FUTSEK!

One of Ramaphosa’s staunchest supporters

Never heard this man talking about God its all about politics and money for him

Bullshit

Tell Ramaphosa directly as your brother within the occultist secret society

The president himself said ANC first!

🙋‍♂️👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏

Out of so many churches why did you only report this fake thing.

If ANC was focused on the country’s problems they would have resigned as a party! We’re in this mess under their governance!

Good. I hope they listen to him.

Inganekwane!!!

Ramaphosa, not government, now government is playing party politics. Why it's so hard to say his name when it matters for these people 🚮
