South Africa goes to the polls amid “growing inequality and unemployment” and fears of a return to apartheid. “Churches live politics in private”, say evangelical leaders.

The country is officially in a “state of disaster” since February due to a shortage of energy resources. Christians in the country analyse the crisis.

African evangelicals perceive the impact of the pandemic differently, but agree on the slow arrival of the vaccine and the “circulation of misinformation”.

The Evangelical Alliance of South Africa (TEASA) admits there still is “a lack of political leadership” in the country.
