South Africa: bishops’ conference backs anti-corruption march

September 24, 2015

“We believe that the government is not doing enough to demonstrate that it is serious in its efforts to prevent and combat corruption,” said Bishop Abel Gabuza of Kimberley, who leads the commission. “Political rhetoric is often not accompanied by decisive action.”
