We had no strategies. If this is not defined then models determine praxis, rather than the reverse. As soon as Apartheid gave way, we had to work together to reconstruct the country, to begin to introduce theories of relationships and to work out together how we would work for reconstruction. It was important to me that the collective who worked together to end Apartheid, would work together to reconstruct South Africa, and that they again would have a common objective where ideological differences did not matter. However, many religious communities backed off at this point, and in so doing missed the opportunity to be part of the remodelling of society.
Religious vision goes beyond political vision.
It can never allow us to settle where we are. And it is vital that we deal with reality in all our debates. Religion is good at visions of heaven, but the reality is that we must change society now. We need a common objective because when capital is moved around it can destroy all of us. Theory should be informed by praxis.
