Religious leaders slam bishop who plans to defy ban on big gatherings COVID19 Coronavirus

Bishop Ziphozihle Siwa, President of the South African Council of Churches together with Reverend Frank Chikane and Bishop Mpumlwana address student leaders, on their concerns regarding the problem of fees in higher education that the students are currently fighting under the #feesmustfall movement, Randburg, 19 January 2016.

Police Minister Bheki Cele made it clear on Thursday that anyone breaking the 100-person barrier would face arrest. Mpumlwana told members of the media that the minister of health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, outlined to religious leaders during the meeting the importance of curbing the spread of the virus, which makes it clear that social distancing, as a way of achieving this, is important.

Mpumlwana said in the Bible that when Jesus was asked to jump from a cliff to prove that he is the son of God, his response was that one should not test God.“Let us all South Africans hold hands, not physically [but] spiritually,” Mpumlwana said.
