Townships are hell, says cross-bearing pastor
26-Apr-2011 | Sabelo Mpana

A CAPE Town pastor, Xola Skosana, marched almost 14km carrying a huge wooden cross to proclaim that "South African townships are hell"

The march - from Gugulethu to Khayelitsha - took place on Saturday.

Though the huge cross was fitted with a wheel to enable Skosana to drag it the pillow on his shoulder, on which the cross rested, showed that it was still a very heavy load.

Pastor's plea to Zille and Zuma
Apr 20, 2011 | Sabelo Mpana

CAPE Town's townships "are a living hell". This is the view of Pastor Xola Skosana, who met Western Cape Premier Helen Zille yesterday.

Skosana earlier wrote to President Jacob Zuma and Zille inviting them to join him this Saturday on a 13km march from Gugulethu to Khayelitsha.

"Considering the immense political influence you both have, if you have any empathy in you, you can change the material condition of 300 families at QQ section, informal settlement in Khayelitsha, who do not have toilets as we speak," wrote Skosana.
