“As the Archbishops of Nigeria and Southern Africa, we condemn the break-
down of law and order consequent upon the xenophobic attacks carried out on
Africans from other parts of the continent, including Nigerians, who live and
work in South Africa. No matter what grievances people have, mob violence is
no way to respond, and we condemn the violence outright. We express our sym-
pathy to those who have been injured in the attacks and our regrets at the loss
of property and businesses.
Within and between our respective churches, we commit to opening dialogue
with all involved with a view finding lasting solutions to the tensions. As two
leading nations on the continent, Nigerians and South Africans should be work-
ing together to the mutual benefit of friendship and productive economic rela-
tions between our peoples. We pray for peace among our peoples, and for
God's blessings on Nigeria, South Africa and all Africans affected by these de-
plorable attacks.
We prayerfully task our two Presidents (Nigeria and South Africa) to seek a dip-
lomatic solution to the issues causing tension and bitterness”.

The Parish observed Wellness Day and Exclusive Jumble Sale on 10 September,
2019. The day went very well. It was well managed and the set up was done by
Dorah Semenya and her team.
We had a team of doctors on site, checking blood sugar and BP and answering
questions. We also had a gynaecologist, psychologists, oral hygienists, a dermatol-
ogist and a drug counsellor.
