dc.description.abstract |
During the rule of the National Party in South Africa, the Bantustans were founded on
the basis of discrimination along the lines of race as well as ethnicity. At the same time,
some were offered “independence” which to many Black South Africans was suicidal
especially in respect of their human dignity. However, this did not end there as it also
advocated territorial advancement along the same lines mentioned above. The
ecumenical movement in South Africa then was vocal in respect of the socio, political,
economic and religious injustices of the time. The founding of the “Independence of
Bophuthatswana” also opened a window of “opportunity” for them to establish what they
called Bophuthatswana Minister Fraternity. Its functions were in direct opposition to
what the South African Council of Churches stood for and believed in. This article will
examine the socio, political, economic and religious context of that time. |
