LISTEN — Archbishop of Jhb: foreign nationals ‘made a scapegoat for the glaring shortcomings of government and local authorities’
Archbishop Buti Tlhagale preaching at a Mass in Durban to receive and welcome the new coadjutor archbishop of the Archdiocese of Durban, Abel Gabuza, said that foreign nationals are “made a scapegoat for the glaring shortcomings of government and local authorities”.
