BCC attack govt�s �pro-rich agenda�

The church body said the budget had nothing for the poor. Pastors who spoke at the meeting dealt with issues such as education, civil servants poor working conditions and poor education. Some clergymen asked why national leaders did not take their children to public schools.

“The church throughout the world still remains the only hope for the disadvantaged, disenfranchised and maginalised,” Rev Mpho Moruakgomo, the former BCC chairman said. “The poor expect the church to speak and speak without fear or favour.”
