The Anglican archbishop of Cape Town Thabo Makgoba has declared his support for mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations for clergy, and raised the possibility of enforcing vaccine mandates in other areas of society.

Team chairperson Canon Rosalie Manning said: “We are urging the province to be proactive in terms of getting our people vaccinated both as an act of faith and love.

“We are well aware that this request to have vaccination information Sundays will impact the liturgy set for this season, but saving lives is also a necessary element of celebrating creation.” Other topics to be discussed during the synod, which began yesterday and continues until Friday, include sexual abuse in the church, the crisis of youth unemployment, a call for an end to gas and oil exploration in Africa.

The Church also wants to discuss making a new commitment to people with disabilities, including making all churches fully accessible to people with disabilities and a ban on the use of polystyrene at all church events. The synod comprises clergy, lay people and bishops representing dioceses of the church in Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, St Helena, South Africa and Swaziland.

What do you expect from bishop of a rich church

Just another swamp creature

I'm not surprised at all!

Cabanga 😂😂😂 Poor clergy is in trouble

He stopped relying on prayers….

I agree on this with the Archbishop - clergy, and also those wanting to come to mass should be vaccinated.

No backbone of some sort....this one

These r just Satan agents

Let it be for him and his family.

Sleeping with Satan

Him and Desmond Tutu sold this country and we not gonna allow them

It would be interesting to know what scientific data was used for the bishop to come to this conclusion? The bishop must be careful he is not used to push political and other agendas that his church should not be involved in. It's easy to follow populist agendas without reason.

Mandatory vaccinations closer to reality at UCT as senate gives backingAn overwhelming 83% of the UCT's senate voted to make Covid-19 vaccination mandatory from next year - but the university says no decision has been made yet. You're simply asking to be villians. We had fees must fall already, what was that for exactly? Was it not people wanting entry to varsity, without fees being used to discriminate against them? You're now using vaccines for discrimination This is self defeating & will cost UCT.
