The central thesis of this article is that the network of living relationships between community, ecology and land as understood by the Amadiba people of Xolobeni may be recognised as an integral part of the wider context in which public and ecumenical oikos- and ubuntu theology needs to be practiced, in a challenging time in South African society is dealing with serious challenges regarding mining, land, economic development and communities’ struggle to control their own livelihoods and destinies. As part of this article, the story of the Amadiba Crisis Committee’s struggle to say no against brutal mining and road development is told. This leads to the searching for some pointers for public oiko-ubuntu theologians to participate in the struggle for human rights and self-determination for communities threatened by mining. These are, i) a contextual analysis of government’s engagement with ecology and economy from perspective of the oikonomia tou Theou (the economy of God); ii) ecumenical cooperation with the groundswell of community organisations and ngo’s who are working for justice for mining-affected communities; iii) and possible ways of keeping government accountable to communities.

This contribution is part of a festschrift in honour of emeritus professor, Nico Adam Botha, who laboured tirelessly for the concretization of justice to all citizens in the boundaries of South Africa and beyond. His academic treatise offers volumes to matters of justice/injustice, in most cases particularly related to those with economic power, abusing the resources that cripple the economy and result in the most vulnerable (the poorest of the poor!) suffering. This contribution also reflects critically on the unequal representation of media reports on government corruption, as opposed to corruption in corporate South Africa. Moreover, it transposes beyond such media reporting. The author argues in this contribution that the academic corpus of Nico Botha provides a theoretical framework that can be used as a diagnostic analysis and probe, but also to re-imagine the causes and eradication of corruption in South Africa.

This article represents the scholarly journeys of two emerging researchers who are greatly indebted to the scholarship and personhood of Professor Nico Botha. Professor Nico Botha’s narrative approach to life in general and the academy had a lasting impact on many emerging and some now established scholars. John and Demaine’s own ecclesial and academic journey has been inspired by the person and work of Professor Nico Botha. Our interest in missiology developed into our academic careers, and more specifically when we joined the Southern African Missiological Society. In this article, they fuse their journeys with that of Nico. They draw out the similarities and differences of some common themes that seem to inform our academic scholarship and our own commitment to nurture the “other” with care and compassion. Three themes have captured our imagination in our interaction with the person and work of Nico. Firstly, Nico had a strong commitment towards the poor and marginalized. Secondly, over the past decade or so, Nico has been developing a narrative theology, or, at least, a narrative approach to theology. Stories include both biblical accounts and contemporary narration of real-life situations. This second theme will be correlated with a narrative approach to theology that includes critical engagement with reason, tradition, and community. The third theme is the pastoral and praxis cycle approach to development that Nico has employed throughout his academic career. The pastoral and praxis cycle approach has four interactionist stages: insertion, social analysis, biblical interpretation, and strategic planning. The pastoral and praxis cycle approach will be compared and contrasted with the four-stage interactionist approach of Don Browning. Finally, they will offer some contours and markers for further development of Nico’s theology of missiology.

This article offers an analysis of the decolonising content of selected African Christian theologians namely, Kwame Bediako, John Mbiti, Jesse Mugambi and Mercy Oduyoye. Given their self-conscious and deliberate critique of western and missionary theologies, these African theologians were not only in the vanguard of theological decolonisation but also initiated a species of post-colonial African theology. Given the limitations of these theologies and on the basis of the African critique of the myth of postcoloniality, contemporary critiques of postcolonialism and recent calls for the decolonisation of theology and theological education in Africa, this contribution argues for the significance of the decolonial epistemic perspective in African Christian theology. In charting a decolonial trajectory, the article further highlights possible challenges which decolonial imagination may pose to a traditioned discipline such as theology.

The closure of an information centre be it a library, archives or a museum should be cause of concern for the information professional considering the fact that information contained in there could be a risk especially when there is joint ownership which for some reasons collapses due to conflict leaving the record in both physical and electronic form vulnerable. To compound the situation, the lack of a proper transition mechanism to oversee that library and archives equipment with the information contained in there is handed over to the new custodians of the material for temporary storage has far reaching consequences in terms of access and preservation. The dramatic scenes that ensued at the Lutheran Theological Institution’s Library and Archives are worth documenting for the benefit of sister institutions and for the information sector in general especially in situations where conflict is concerned as was the case here. The demise of LTI was an unmitigated disaster owing largely to internal dissension. The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions [IFLA] (2017) and Ngulube (2018) acknowledged that like many other forms of cultural heritage, documentary works are under constant threat of destruction due to a number of reasons and conflict was singled out as was the case at the LTI Library. However, a number of lessons can be learnt from this debacle and a few will be highlighted here. Firstly, faith based collections (religious archives) need to be legislated like their counterparts public archives. Secondly, sister institutions need to ensure that both records and archives management functions are harmonized to minimize over reliance on donors for material in the archives.

Families remain the world’s oldest, most basic form of relationship. However, in the 21st century, families are undergoing multiple crises. The fact cannot be ignored that numerous families experience no fatherly presence. Several missiologists emphasise that a church with an understanding and vision of God’s mission (missio Dei) must train parents to take up the task of nurturing children in faith. The term missional has true meaning. It is not merely a Christian buzz word or a catch phrase that families can use as an act. “Missional” should be viewed as an activity of God because it is rooted in Scripture and modelled by Christ. God has not given up on the vital role of the family. Therefore, family life requires the proactive impartation of biblical principles. The role of the family is accentuated within the biblical narrative and its importance is consistently brought to the attention of God’s followers. Christian parenting entails that parents model and educate their children in conduct that embraces God’s compassion for people who do not enjoy a living relationship with him. Christian fatherhood2 can guard against father absenteeism since Christian fathers lead sacrificial lives for the sake of their families. The hearts of Christian fathers are filled with a God-given mission aiming to instil a love for Christ in the hearts of their children.

There is enough evidence that while listening to the preaching and messages of most Pentecostal preachers or watching them on some free television channels today, the emphasis is on freeing people from the oppression of demons and witchcraft. Many people, the poor included, risk asking for cash loans to use for travelling to meet with the so-called prophets in distant areas. There is an example of those South Africans who died in Nigeria when the double storey building fell upon them. Besides promising them prosperity, these prophets also promise to protect them from those who bewitch them. This kind of message is fast becoming the driving force behind the fast-growing megachurches around Gauteng and in other parts of South Africa. The intention of this article is to check if it can be theologically justifiable to use witchcraft to make people come to church. It will be important to also investigate if this kind of advent brings the intended message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The socio-historical background for walking in the light has been the dominant theme that has characterised socio-ethical beliefs and practices of the East African Revival Movement (EARM) since the arrival of the Keswick movement in East Africa in the early years of the 20th century. The early Keswick teachers propounded teaching of two types of Christians; the saved and those who have surrendered. This teaching found affinity in the social fabric of the East African Cultural setting influenced by factors from within and without. Thus, the prevailing experiences and circumstances in East Africa found fertile ground for entrenching Keswick theology in the EARM of walking in the light.

The formation of the Bantu Presbyterian Church of South Africa in 1923 was much criticised for being the result of a racist policy; yet had it not been for racism prevalent in South Africa at the time its formation might have been unnecessary as part of the missionary outreach of the United Free Church of Scotland. For better or worse it was established and in such matters there was no going back. However, its mission was hindered by attempts to control it externally by the Scottish church and internally by missionaries and their Mission Council. The first ten years of its history testify to this. Its subsequent history bears witness to the attempt to make it an authentic African missionary church open to the ecumenical scene.

This article pursues a theological reflection on black students’ experiences using the liberative paradigm found in Black theology of liberation (BTL). Reflecting on black students’ experiences in the classroom, the article asks the question; is Black theology of liberation the thing of the past? Pertaining to the question, the article links James Cone and Steve Biko’s experiences in university with my own experiences in the university, particularly as a student of theology in South Africa. Therefore, the focus of the article is threefold; James Cone’s experiences as a student of theology in America, Steve Biko’s experiences as a black student under the apartheid government. Lastly, the article investigates my own experiences to present a theological reflection on black students’ experiences post-apartheid
本文运用黑人解放神学(black theology of liberation, BTL)的解放范式对黑人学生的经历进行神学反思。反思黑人学生在课堂上的经历，文章提出了这样一个问题;黑人解放神学是过去的事了吗?关于这个问题，这篇文章将James Cone和Steve Biko的大学经历与我自己的大学经历联系起来，特别是作为一名南非神学学生。因此，文章的重点是三重的;詹姆斯·科恩在美国学习神学的经历，史蒂夫·比科在种族隔离政府下作为黑人学生的经历。最后，文章以自己的亲身经历为基础，对种族隔离后黑人学生的经历进行神学反思
