South Africa's Moravian Church at centre of land disputes in Western Cape
In South Africa, some towns in the Western Cape are entirely controlled by the Moravian Protestant Church, which has a missionary legacy dating back to the 18th century. Residents pay a fee to the Church, which maintains the town's infrastructure in return. But some locals claim the Church isn't using the money collected to reinvest in the town. With over 100,000 current members, the Moravian Church was one of the first religious institutions to welcome worshippers of all races in a South Africa still marked by segregation. FRANCE 24's Caroline Dumay, Stefan Carstens and Tom Canetti report for Pool Africa.
