TSHEHLA, Maarman S.. Your sister in Babylon sends her love: Towards prophetic solidarity in post-apartheid South Africa. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2014, vol.70, n.3, pp.01-06. ISSN 2072-8050.  https://doi.org/10.4102/hts.v70i3.2789.

How are his admonishments, especially those which relate to the public arena, to be appropriated by those living on the periphery of the empire? I reflect on these questions from the vantage point of a South Africa in which on the one hand erstwhile prophets are being haunted by the vagaries of power and on the other the Church is apparently as powerless as never before.
