Archbishop Thabo Makgoba launches an inquiry into possible abuse in the Anglican Church

# Archbishop Thabo Makgoba has launched an inquiry into whether the Anglican Church in Cape Town has met its obligation to keep its members safe from abuse. An independent Makin Review concluded that former UK lawyer, John Smyth, was responsible for the abuse of over 100 boys and men in the UK, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Smyth organised evangelical summer camps in the 1970s and 1980s. He attended a Cape Town Anglican Church two times. Makgoba says no evidence had ever been reported to the church’s leaders that Smyth had committed abuses in Cape Town.
