Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says South Africa has the tenacity and will to defeat the scourge of corruption just like it defeated colonialism and the apartheid era.
He was speaking during a virtual prayer service to mark the Anglican Church of Southern Africa's 150th anniversary yesterday.
Government has come
under great scrutiny and has been marred by allegations of corruption, including during the COVID19 pandemic.
The ANC's Provincial Executive Committee meeting is discussing the findings of the provincial Integrity Commission's report into a controversial PPE tender in which the MEC for Health in Gauteng Bandile Masuku, his wife Loyiso and presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko have been implicated.
The party is expected to pronounce on its decision later today.
Welby says all leaders must adhere to the call of God to bring hope to the hopeless and nurture the nation they serve.
Meanwhile, Dean Michael Weeder of the Anglican St.
George's Cathedral in Cape Town says investigations into alleged corruption, especially with regard to the procurement of PPEs
during COVID19 must be completed and those responsible and found guilty must be imprisoned.
