Mahikeng – The Mahikeng Ministers Fellowship (MMF) has announced a “Watchmen of the City of Goodwill Prayer Service” against xenophobia.
The service has been scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, 12 June 2026, from 6:00 to 8:30 pm.
In a statement made available to The Bulrushes, the MMF said the service will be held at the Bodiredi Salvation Centre, Mocoseng Sundown Resort, outside Mahikeng, in the North West.
The focus of the prayer service convened by the interdenominational fraternal of members of the fivefold ministries will also pray for youth as well as against crime, drugs, including gender-based violence and femicide.
“The service is a precursor to a prayer march for peaceful co-existence by local churches and congregations to be held in the provincial capital on Saturday, 20 June 2026,” said MMF Chairperson, Senior Pastor Dr Moss Tlalang.
Tlalang said that the church will not support anarchy as well as unlawful action that will undermine the rule of law, destabilise the economy through disinvestments that might jeopardise the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which has the potential to open markets and promote economic cooperation across the continent.
“Such myopic and misguided action will have far-reaching consequences for the country’s economic recovery as well as diplomatic relations with the rest of the continent at a time when they need to be at their highest,” he cautioned.
He pointed out that the legal framework that currently exists to deal with undocumented foreign nationals should be strictly adhered to and implemented with consistency.
“Afrophobia should not be advanced to destroy Pan Africanism, International Solidarity as well as the unity of the body of Christ which transcends borders and nationalities,” Tlalang said.
Tlalang remarked that corruption syndicates that are issuing fraudulent documents to undocumented foreign nationals who have entered the country illegally are a threat to national security.
“They, together with those eager to fan fires of self-hate through populist rhetoric, represent what all of us must unite against and defeat through love, compassion, and united action,” Tlalang stated.
South Africa is experiencing anti-immigrant sentiment that has culminated in protests.
Anti-immigrant groups have given foreign nationals until the end of this month to leave South Africa.
The governments of Ghana, Nigeria, and Malawi have already begun repatriating their citizens to their home countries.
