Pretoria - The racist remark by evangelist Angus Buchan that suggested God favoured Afrikaans and Jewish people over everyone else were made due to frustrations over the severe drought, he said on Tuesday. Buchan apologised for the comment during a media briefing in Centurion and said he was frustrated by the drought that has hit sub-Saharan Africa. He said he had repented.
According to Buchan, his intention was to encourage those who were suffering due to the drought by reminding them that God would never forsake them. “I am very sorry for what has taken place and I denounce the idea of any special nation. I will therefore continue with all my heart to work towards bringing the whole of South Africa to unity,” he said.
Buchan added that in the past few weeks he had received letters from many people and farmers crying out for help and asking for prayer.
