In this talk Ryan Saville explores the legacy of forced removals in Cape Town, including the legacy and the role of the church. The aim of this Land and Restitution forum was to discuss these important issues biblically and contextually. To reflect on our history, our fears and ideologies and our current socio-economic and political context through the lens of cross-centred, contextual theology. To apply gospel thinking and practice to this crucial issue which is currently further exposing the divided state of the church along racial and economic lines.
In this episode, together with special guest, Pastor Peter Makapela we discuss the recent announcement during the State of the Nation address that the government will seek to accelerate the land distribution programme and that this would include the implementation of expropriation of land without compensation.
