Community gathers in spirit for Africa Day
To commemorate Africa Day and celebrate women, an uplifting sermon was held at St Paul's Anglican Church.
Well-known Mohlakeng pastor Buyi Zulu gave a spiritual, uplifting and motivational sermon at Mohlakeng St Paul’s Anglican Church recently to commemorate Mother’s Day and Africa Day activities.
Pastor Buyi comes from a charismatic Christian background but was previously part of a more mainstream Anglican church that followed the ideals of the late Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, particularly his all-embracing approach, which promotes tolerance across both Christian and non-Christian faiths.
Being Christian does not mean one must detach from their African identity. We must still find our sense of morality and behaviour through our shared humanity,” she said.
In her address, she told women that they play an important role.
“God had a purpose when He created women. Creation could not be perfect without a woman. When women have a partnership with God, all will be good, things will happen.”
She called on women in all spheres and dimensions, particularly in Mohlakeng, to go on their knees and pray for the youth, the abuse of drugs and recent criminal activities. According to Buyi, in the township, certain members of the community have been targets of robbery incidents in their households.
