Thabo Makgoba, the Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, used his Easter sermon to condemn attacks on migrants around the world.

Makgoba decried the aggression of some countries, such as Russia, which invaded Ukraine, while preaching at St George’s Cathedral.

Makgoba also stated that the world’s darkness is really genuine.

He reflected on people who are victims of domestic abuse and gender-based violence in the United States, as well as those who live in war-torn nations like Ukraine, and on the conflict in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique.

Despite how tough it is to talk about, Makgoba believes that violence must be handled. In his sermon, he urged people not to remain silent in the face of injustices in the United States and around the world.

He also urged people to embrace rather than disregard others’s suffering and challenges.

A discourse on foreign nationals has been called for by the South African Council of Churches (SACC).

The SACC voiced grave worries in a statement that one incorrect word or deed by one or more people could lead to violence and death.

The national indaba, according to SACC Secretary-General Bishop Malusi Mpumlwana, should include all sectors, including foreign national representative organizations.

The national Indaba, according to Bishop Mpumlwana, should look into a variety of concerns, including the hiring of foreign nationals, which is one of the triggering points in communities with significant unemployment.

According to him, the entire issue of immigration management and the refugee status regime should be examined.

Mpumlwana believes any research into actions ascribed to foreign people should be taken into account, citing the alleged involvement of foreign nationals in normal crime as well as other organized and syndicated criminal activities involving drugs and human trafficking as examples.

According to the SACC, the conversation should also examine foreign nationals’ contributions to the national economy, GDP, and education, particularly their roles as university professors in South Africa.
