A “trust deficit” is one of the factors that led to the recent civil unrest which degenerated into violence, looting, deaths and destruction of infrastructure, says the chairperson of the Moral Regeneration Movement, Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa.
The veteran liberation struggle stalwart and theologian expressed concern about what he termed a “yawning gap” between the government, dominant social classes, and people on the ground during a webinar this week hosted by North West church leaders under the auspices of Mahikeng Ministers Fellowship.

ANC stalwart Graeme Bloch died on Friday morning, party spokesperson Pule Mabe said in a statement.
Bloch was the husband of former ANC deputy secretary-general Cheryl Carolus.
“Comrade Bloch comes from a family of activists and is one of those activists who epitomised the nonracial character of the liberation struggle,” the party said. “Like his wife, he was detained and banned without trial by the apartheid regime because of his fight for a just, nonsexist, nonracial and free SA.”
