The inequality of consequence: What I learnt during the HIV/Aids years 3 decades ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The people I buried experienced the consequences immediately, as did their families and their children. Political responsibility was far harder to find. Deon Snyman is a political theologian who has worked in community development for the past 35 years and currently serves as Managing Director of the Goedgedacht Trust. Thirty years ago, at the end of 1996, I came back to Nongoma after spending a couple of months in Europe doing research for my postgraduate studies. One of the first things I noti
Courage to change: The Afrikaans ministers who showed it is never too late for transformation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danie Rosslee and EG Fourie were not early opponents of apartheid. Perhaps that is precisely why we should remember what happened when they changed. Deon Snyman is a political theologian who has worked in community development for the past 35 years and currently serves as Managing Director of the Goedgedacht Trust.

Deon Snyman is a political theologian who has worked in community development for the past 35 years and currently serves as Managing Director of the Goedgedacht Trust. Last week I drove to Koringberg (a small farming town in the Swartland) to arrange the installation of prepaid electricity meters
The day the buses left: Confronting xenophobia and rediscovering our humanity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have seen things this week that have left me deeply ashamed, but I also saw compassion shown towards 88 frightened, vulnerable men fleeing xenophobic violence. Those are also South African stories, and they deserve to be told. The buses left Goedgedacht shortly after four oâclock this afternoon. For two nights our Leadership Academy became home to 88 men from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique who had fled xenophobic intimidation in parts of the Riebeek Valley. The buses are taking them to Musi
