Faith and courage - Thabo Makgoba

We thank you for the inspiration and strength that you have given to Madiba, enabling him, over so many years, to draw out the best in others, rousing us always, by word and example, to seek the highest good for every child of this nation.

So prayed Archbishop Thabo Makgoba with
Nelson Mandela in his home in 2009, in response to the request of Madiba's
wife, Graa Machel. This moment marked the beginning of a moving relationship
between southern Africa's Anglican leader and Mandela until his death in
2013.

Join Archbishop Makgoba on his journey towards faith -
from his boyhood in Alexandra Township, Johannesburg, as the son of a ZCC
pastor, to Bishopscourt and spending time with Nelson Mandela. Archbishop Makgoba reveals his pastoral approach to this iconic figure, and writes eloquently about the
influence Mandela had on his ministry to church and nation.

What was praying with those nearest and
dearest to Mandela like? What was Madiba's spirituality? In trying to answer
these fascinating questions, Makgoba opens a window on to the spiritual life of
South Africa.
