Text in Image

Apartheid is an evil thing. It is incompatible with the gospel. Any way to help make people change their mind about it would be useful ... I wish South Africa would consider changing this policy, and my personal opinion is that it would change by more dialogue rather than any kind of force ... Apartheid is something almost inhuman. We live in a world which is so nice when people cooperate, live together and love one another as human beings. But to separate people is fundamentally wrong. Anything that would bring South Africa to rethink this policy would be good, even sanctions. - Josiah Kibira
