Human Trafficking is intrinsically evil

Archbishop Buti Tlhagale

"We celebrate this Eucharist on the eve of the FIFA world Cup. We seek to draw the attention of all South Africans and our visitors about the plight of children and women who are victims of human trafficking and especially of those who become victims during this world cup event. Such an event, though highly admirable in itself, brings out the worst in some human beings. Men and women without integrity, see an opportunity to make a fortune by selling children and women for sexual pleasures of men who probably care less about the games themselves.

As Christians, we must resist with every strength we have this dangerous and degrading form of modern slavery. We do so because we believe firmly that we have been created in the Image of God and that this is the source of our dignity as persons.

Furthermore, we believe that we are our brother’s and sister’s keeper. We have an obligation and a responsibility to uphold the dignity of all especially those who are most vulnerable.

Last Saturday 10 April 2010 the community of Ingwavuma celebrated the ordination to the diaconate of Vukani Phoseka. All the outstations were present. They had been preparing that day for the last two months. There was also a good number of representatives from Mtubatuba Mission where Vukani has been serving since June last year, after finishing his studies at St John Vianney.

During the homily, Bp José Luis told Vukani that the Biblical texts read were the same ones used when he was ordained Bishop nearly a year ago on Easter Saturday and that was why he likes them in a particular way.
