The Archbishop of Cape Town writes:
BISHOP Ellinah Ntfombi Wamukoya, the first woman Anglican bishop in Africa, died on 19 January, aged 69, after being admitted to hospital and receiving oxygen therapy for Covid-19.
After a career as a civil servant, she was ordained priest in 2005 after a long involvement with the diocese of Swaziland, in the Southern African nation now called eSwatini (formerly Swaziland). She served as an Anglican chaplain to the University of eSwatini and was elected bishop in 2012.
Before her ordination, she had been the Town Clerk of Manzini, eSwatini’s commercial hub, having earlier served as the City Planner. She held a Master’s degree in town and regional planning.
