Description[?]:
| Samuel von Streekopf, TZ-speaker on religious issues: We need to cross the aisle to the church and be partners of the church. Our current laws see the church as an enemy and that is not right. Our culture stands on the back of the church, they do so much good in this country, but our current laws are trying to kill the church and dismantle it. We say no to that. |
