WC religious leaders demonstrate against xenophobia



about 2 hours ago / Monique Mortlock

WESTERN CAPE – The Western Cape Religious Leader’s Forum has taken its anti-xenophobia campaign to the streets of Khayelitsha.

Last month the forum marched in Cape Town as part of their hashtag standing against xenophobia campaign.

Today hundreds of religious leaders and people from local communities as well as foreign nationals have marched from the Lookout Hill Tourism Centre to the Salvation Church in Makhaza as part of the celebrations before Africa Day on Monday.
