  • Statement National Church Leaders' Consultation (Nclc)
    STATEMENT NATIONAL CHURCH LEADERS’ CONSULTATION (NCLC) Head-office of Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Khanya House, 129 Main Street, Waterkloof, Pretoria, 29 January 2020 As senior church leaders of different denominations, we have met on 29 January at Khanya House, Head-Office of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Pretoria, to reflect on the challenges South Africa faces at the beginning of 2020. Against the background of alarming reports presented to the Zondo Commission on State Capture – the plundering of public resources to benefit a few connected individuals or their companies; the mismanagement in State Owned Enterprises (SOEs); the lack of economic growth and employment opportunities and the increase in social hardship, South Africa urgently needs to get its house in order. 1. Political, economic and social crisis – a deficit of trust and accountability A main challenge is the deep crisis and deficit of trust between citizens and political parties, and between some political leaders, and citizens in South Africa. What kind of reforms are necessary (even constitutionally) to restore accountability between political representatives and citizens? Are we not manipulated by the fierce competition amongst fractions within different parties - that fight for dominance in leadership positions to control resources, whilst sacrificing the wellbeing of all South Africans? How can we restore leadership that serve the common good for all, that protects our environment and resources for future generations? How can we foster a life-giving economy where everybody benefits, that fosters a caring society – and not only powerful lobby groups (economic, political or civil society) that wrestle for the control of our destiny? Democracy is not only about regular elections – but the fair chance for all to influence policy choices, to have a real impact on shaping the priorities that affects our daily lives (and not only for those with power or special connections).
