Yearbook-2020-003-Final-2.Pdf 2020 1 2020 YEARBOOK THE METHODIST CHURCH OF SOUTHERN AFRICA PURITY NOMTHANDASO MALINGA Presiding Bishop MICHEL WILLIAM HANSROD General Secretary JAMES MABHALANE NKOSI Lay President Methodist Publishing House, Cape Town ISBN: 978-1-920464-49-3 2 2020 The Mission Statement of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa 2020 3 THE CHARTER OF THE MISSION CONGRESS ADOPTED BY THE CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH OF SOUTHERN AFRICA IN JOHANNESBURG ON 30 AUGUST 2005 Where there is no vision the people perish. Where there is no passion the vision dies. God has given us the vision of “A Christ healed Africa for the healing of nations.” As members of the Methodist Family our challenge is to share more deeply God’s passion for healing and transformation. We believe the Holy Spirit is guiding us to continue the pilgrimage which has led us through Obedience 81 and the Journey to the New Land to the present day. We recognise the importance of the local church and rejoice in the many Circuits and Societies where life-giving mission is taking place. In trust and obedience we commit ourselves to the four imperatives for mission in our time: A deepened Spirituality as individuals and a Christian Community. Justice and Service in Church and Society. Evangelism and Church growth which build up the people of God. Empowerment and Development which give dignity and new purpose to those who have been deprived. We resolve to take intentional and sustained action to implement these imperatives in such areas as: The Healing Ministry. Deepening our understanding of African and other spiritualities. Co-ordinated programmes for Christian Education, information and communication. Building meaningful relationships that transcend racism, sexism and all other forms of discrimination. A vigorous response to the crisis of HIV and AIDS. Informing our prophetic ministry by research into socio-economic issues. Identifying land for sustainable livelihood. 4 2020 Sacrificial giving. Becoming a church in solidarity with the poor. Providing training in evangelism. Training ministers for the African context. Implementing anti-bias training. Becoming a more Youth and Child centred Church. We invite the people of God throughout Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland to join us as we put ourselves at God’s disposal to carry forward God’s mission in this sub-continent. Let us each renew our personal commitment to Jesus Christ and seek to grow in grace and in love for God, one another and the world. Let us ensure that our mission of healing and transformation is holistic, embracing all the imperatives for mission. Let us participate in God’s mission in ways that are appropriate to our local contexts and in partnership with the wider church and community. Let us celebrate our diversity and the gifts God has given to each of us; support each other, challenge each other and pray for each other. Finally, we encourage every Circuit to set aside the last Sunday in May each year to celebrate what God is doing among us and to commit ourselves once again to our high calling in Christ. God bless this Africa which is our home. Give us grace to follow Jesus the healer, Jesus the peacemaker, Jesus the Saviour of the world, Jesus the Lord of all life. Restore us and make your face shine on us That we may be saved. 2020 5 CONTENTS The Mission Statement of the MCSA . 2 Charter of the Mission Congress 2005 . 3 The Presiding Bishop’s Address to Conference 2019. 7 The Presiding Bishop-Elect’s Address to Conference 2019 . 16 The General Secretary’s Report to Conference 2019 . 23 The Lay President’s Report to Conference 2019 . 31 The General Treasurer’s Report to Conference 2019 . 38 The Synods’ Reports to Conference 2019 . 43 Chapter 1 Conference 2019: Message to the Methodist People . 91 Chapter 2 Conference 2019: Resolutions . 94 Chapter 3 Minutes of Conference . 111 Membership Returns. 119 Chapter 4 Amendments to Laws and Discipline . 120 THE UNITS OF THE CHURCH Chapter 5 The Finance Unit . 185 Appendix 1: Policy on Effective Financial Management . 201 Appendix 2: Institutional Competency Assessment . 210 Appendix 3: Stipend Augmentation Fund . 214 Appendix 4: Connexional Gifts Policy . 217 Appendix 5: The Supernumerary Fund Reserve and the Church Reserve . 219 Appendix 6: Mission Resource Fund . 222 Appendix 7: Treasurers Code of Conduct . 224 Chapter 6 Ecumenical Affairs Unit . 228 Chapter 7 Education for Ministry and Mission Unit . 238 Chapter 8 Seth Mokitimi Seminary . 266 Chapter 9 Communications Unit . 273 Chapter 10 Connexional Children and Youth Unit . 276 Chapter 11 Human Resources Unit . 279 Chapter 12 Mission Unit . 282 6 2020 THE ORDERS OF THE CHURCH Chapter 13 Order of Deacons . 296 Chapter 14 Order of Evangelism . 299 THE COMMITTEES OF THE CHURCH Chapter 15 Connexional Chaplaincy Committee . 303 Chapter 16 Connexional Trust Properties Committee . 305 Annexure A: MCSA Property Strategy . 308 Annexure B: Visit to Kenya . 310 Chapter 17 Doctrine, Ethics and Worship Committee . 313 Chapter 18 Methodist Archives . 316 Chapter 19 Methodist Publishing House . 318 Chapter 20 Women In Ministry . 320 Women In Ministry Task Team Report . 323 Chapter 21 Structures Committee . 325 ORGANISATIONS OF THE CHURCH Chapter 22 Music Association . 331 Chapter 23 Local Preachers’ Association . 336 Chapter 24 Women’s Work . 340 Women’s Association . 340 Women’s Auxiliary . 343 Women’s Manyano . 347 Young Women’s Manyano . 350 Chapter 25 Men’s Work 355 Young Men’s Guild . 355 Chapter 26 Conference Awards . 360 Chapter 27 Elections and Appointments . 361 Connexional Diary 2020 . 363 2020 Lectionary . 369 List of Conferences, Presidents and Secretaries . 374 List of Future Conferences . 379 In Memoria . 381 2020 7 THE PRESIDING BISHOP’S ADDRESS TO CONFERENCE Bishop Ziphozihle Daniel Siwa Theme: Shaping tomorrow today; walking humbly with God Readings: Jeremiah 8:4-22 and Luke 3:1-6 Greetings, Welcome and Gratitude The Lay President, the Presiding Bishop Elect, the General Secretary, the General Secretary-Elect, Bishops and Lay Leaders of our Synods, Unit Leaders, members of the 2019 Conference, distinguished guests and visitors, I greet you warmly this evening in the Name of the Triune God – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. th I extend a word of welcome to all of you to the 130 Conference of the MCSA. A special word of welcome to the leaders of the soon-to-be-inaugurated new Synods, Rev Charmaine Morgan of the Namibia Synod, Rev Louis Williams of the Camdeboo Synod and Rev Dr. Matshedisho Molale of the Molopo Synod. It is my greatest joy to welcome and introduce two special persons, the Chairperson of the Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary, Dr. Phumla Mnganga and the new President of the Seminary, Dr. Rowanne Marie. On behalf of the Methodist people, I welcome the new Chief Pastor, Rev. Purity Malinga who will lead us in our journey of sharpening mission effectiveness. It has indeed been a special privilege for me to be afforded the opportunity to offer leadership at various levels of the Church and even allowed to occupy what is also known as ‘Mr Wesley’s Chair’ in our Connexion. I thank God for being with us as a family at this time; God has been so good in surrounding us with a reservoir of support from Methodist people and leaders. The church and all her people have shown me God’s love, sometimes in tough ways, but I have never doubted the care of the Methodist people. On behalf on my whole family, I thank you. I do not normally thank my wife Yoliswa Nokulunga in public because we have enough time to do so in our own space. On this occasion however, it is proper that I do so. She has been a very strong pillar of support throughout my active ministry, or rather, our ministry. She has sacrificially given of herself to this ministry at great personal cost. I salute you MamNqarwane, Ziduli, Hintsabe! I love you! We are on an exciting journey of shaping tomorrow-today. This includes the strategic activity of multiplication, reorganising and reshaping in order to minimize exclusion in our mission endeavours. The 2015 Conference address in Port Elizabeth ends with an appeal for all of us to go and reflect on the shape of our societies, circuits, districts and organisations with the intention of sharpening our discipleship movement for effective mission. Much work has been accomplished as reports to subsequent conferences indicate, but there is also much still to be done. 8 2020 Context and Introduction We are in Cape Town in the Cape of Good Hope Synod. This is a place of many contrasts: a place of pain and hope; a place of so much beauty and hazardous settlements. It is here that Bartholomew Diaz, the Portuguese explorer sailed around the Southern tip of Africa and “found” and named this region the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. He was followed by Vasco da Gama about a decade later in 1497. Jan van Riebeeck was sent by the Dutch East India Company to set up a refreshment station for Dutch ships on their way to the east. This ushered in an era of occupation, settlement and dispossession. Upon his arrival on 6 April 1652 on 3 ships, De Reiger, De Dromedaris and De Goede Hoop, he was accompanied by 82 men and 8 women. Since then, there has been a clash of cultures and interests. The settlers started farming on the land of the Khoi and the San, who lived a semi-nomadic life. The landscape of this part of the world was irretrievably changed to date. In response to the deadly skirmishes with the local population, van Riebeeck planted a wild almond hedge to protect his settlement in 1660 – a symbol of division that we are struggling with to this day.

  • Eff Statement on Second National Peoples Assembly, Parliament Deployments and Other Political Issues
    EFF STATEMENT ON SECOND NATIONAL PEOPLES ASSEMBLY, PARLIAMENT DEPLOYMENTS AND OTHER POLITICAL ISSUES Tuesday, 02 July, 2019 NATIONAL PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY At its Special Meeting convened on the 1st of July, 2019, the Central Command Team resolved that the EFF Second National People’s Assembly will be convened on the 13 - 16 December, 2019 at the Expo Centre, Nasrec under the theme “Consolidating the Ground Towards Socialist Power”. The National People’s Assembly is an elective conference of the EFF, the highest decision-making body and, according to the EFF Constitution, takes place every five years. Accordingly, the CCT has adopted guidelines that pave the path towards the election of delegates from branches, including in regions, and provinces. These will be published on the EFF website for easy access. Within these guidelines are strict rules and deadlines for election of delegates, audit of branches, as well as conduct of all fighters and commissars on lobbying for leadership positions. Members and leaders of the EFF are therefore called upon to internalise these guidelines and participate in the lead up to this assembly with the highest discipline and determination. The Discussion Documents will also be published on the EFF website and they will be sent to branches, so that branches are not only ceased with matters of leadership but they also discuss the state of the nation in South Africa through the Discussion Documents of the EFF and provide what could be a sustainable solution to the challenges that are confronting the poor masses of our people on the ground. PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE DEPLOYMENTS Post 2019 General Elections, the EFF increased its seats from 31 to 53 Members of Parliament (MPs), with 44 in the National Assembly (NA) and 9 in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP).

  • 7.5. Identified Sites of Significance Residential Buildings Within Rosettenville (Semi-Detached, Freestanding)
    7.5. Identified sites of significance_Residential buildings within Rosettenville (Semi-detached, freestanding) Introduction Residential buildings are buildings that are generally used for residential purposes or have been zoned for residential usage. It must be noted the majority of residences are over 60 years, it was therefore imperative for detailed visual study to be done where the most significant buildings were mapped out. Their significance could be as a result of them being associated to prominent figures, association with special events, design patterns of a certain period in history, rarity or part of an important architectural school. Most of the sites identified in this category are of importance in their local contexts and are representative of the historical and cultural patterns that could be discerned from the built environment. All the identified sites were given a 3A category explained below. Grading 3A_Sites that have a highly significant association with a historic person, social grouping, historic events, public memories, historical activities, and historical landmarks (should by all means be conserved) 3B_ Buildings of marginally lesser significance (possibility of senstive alteration and addition to the interior) 3C_Buildings and or sites whose significance is in large part significance that contributes to the character of significance of the environs (possibility for alteration and addition to the exterior) Summary Table of identified sites in the residential category: Site/ Description Provisional Heritage Implications

  • The Klip Riviersberg Nature Reserve, the Early Days. Compiled by René
    The Klip Riviersberg Nature Reserve, The Early Days. Compiled by René de Villiers. Proclamation of The Reserve The Klip Riviersberg Nature Reserve, or the reserve for short, has always had a special place in the hearts and minds of the people living along its borders and is safe to say that most of the residents in Mondeor feel that way about it. It was certainly the case in the early days of the reserve, and I count myself among them. Since the very early days the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve Association (KNRA) had been arranging guided walks in the reserve, and with the modest finances at its disposal strove to keep alien vegetation in check, combat fires, arrange guided walks and bring the reserve to the attention of the greater Johannesburg and the rest of the country. One of its earliest projects was to lobby, successfully, for the formal proclamation of the area as a nature reserve. For the record, it was proclaimed on 9th October 1984 in terms of section 14 of the Nature Conservation Ordinance (Ordinance 12 of 1983); Administrator’s Notice 1827. It comprises Erf 49 Alan Manor, Erf 1472 Mondeor, Erf 1353 Kibler Park and Ptn 14 of the Farm Rietvlei 101. All of these erven belong to the (then) Johannesburg City Council Parks and Recreation Department. Portion 17 of the farm Rietvlei 101 which falls within the fenced borders of the reserve, belongs to the University of the Witwatersrand. In all its endeavours the KNRA has done a sterling job and we owe a large debt of gratitude to those early pioneering committees and members in general.
