Gender-based violence as a pandemic
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global pandemic, with South Africa experiencing some of the highest rates in the world. Structural and systemic issues underpin the pervasive nature of violence against women (VAW) and intimate partner violence (IPV) in the country, leading to the widespread disenfranchisement of women across economic, social, religious, political and cultural spheres. While globally, 27% of women and girls aged 15 years and older…
Gender Justice, Ecological Responsibility and Sustainable Development in Africa
In numerous African societies, gender inequality is deeply rooted within both social norms and power structures. This inequality becomes particularly pronounced when it intersects with environmental crises, amplifying gender-specific vulnerabilities and sustaining cycles of marginalization. This article highlights the nexus between gender justice, ecological responsibility, and sustainable development, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches…

Zimbabwean women’s experiences at Johanne Masowe WeChishanu Apostolic churches’ open ground gatherings
The Constitution of Zimbabwe guarantees religious freedoms and freedom of association including for religious purposes. While people can gather for religious purposes, the main thrust of this paper is to investigate and unpack environmental crises caused by Christian gatherings and how women are affected by these environmental crises. The article focuses on the Johanne Masowe WeChishanu Apostolic churches. Environmental rights in terms of the Con…

Decoloniality on Culture and Religion
Decolonial discourse continues to challenge Eurocentrism and, among other things, raises profound questions about culture and religion or their unreceptive interactions. Conversely, both culture and religion remain products of the social context in which they are located. Some have even gone so far as to conceptualize religion as a form of culture, or vice versa. Historically, however, in societies such as South Africa where dominant religions su…
Responsible Public Theology on Climate Change Devastations
Climate change is devastating human communities, but it is more devastating to the poor and powerless, especially in the absence of accountable political leadership. This was evident in the recent climate disaster that struck South Africa in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), where the deadliest storm in April 2022 killed about 489 people and devastated many more. This paints a frightening picture of the impending climate apocalypse not only in South Africa bu…
Sisters in Solidarity
In this article I explore the solidarity, resistance and agency of a group of women involved in an urban community food garden project in collaboration with the Pietermaritzburg Agency for Community Social Action (PACSA). I explore this initiative through the lenses of African Women’s Theology (AWT) and Oikos Theology and suggest that urban community food gardens represent a cooperation with nature and a resistance to social structures and system…
