South Africa: a vision for new freedoms
South Africa witnessed two major campaigns in October and November. Tens of thousands of students protested against a rise in student fees, ‘Fees must fall’, and the Anglican Archbishop, Thabo Makoba, and the Director of the Evangelical Alliance of South Africa, the Revd Moss Ntlha, led an anti-corruption march of 6000 people.

These protests against the government by churches which had supported the anti-apartheid struggle marks an important step in the development of South Africa since freedom from apartheid came in 1994.
