Methodist church, mosques do their bit to prevent crowds of more than 100

The MCSA called on its ministers to find creative ways of meeting congregants’ spiritual needs.

This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Sunday that strict measures would be imposed in South Africa to curb the spread of the highly contagious virus which first emerged in Wuhan, China. In addition, ministers have been advised to access the latest information on Covid-19 and provide regular updates to congregants.

Conventions and youth synods, however, have been postponed with immediate effect until further notice.With respect to funerals, weddings and baptisms, ministers were directed to educate families about the need for fewer attendees. “As much as the preservation of life and ensuring the safety of the community is our collective responsibility, we recognise the role of Jumu’ah as one of the important [public motifs] of Islam,” head of the Fatwa Committee, Mufti Taha Karaan, said.
