Church has been central to the lives of many people
It shapes behavior, facilitates celebration, comfort us when we are hurting, educate, train leaders & musicians, sustain families, run charity programs and deal with spiritual matters.
The time has come for the church to deal with economic challenges.
Church leaders who were involved in the fight against apartheid were aware that democracy is not going to autometically benefit everyone. They new that after the political freedom we needed to work towards achiving economic justice. They saw the church as a vital role player that must fight the economic injustice. So they established ESSET to mobilise the church and build its capacity to be a prophetic voice, be in solidarity with the poor and run practical economic alternative programs. |

ESSET’s response to the State of the Nation Address 2013
President Jacob Zuma’s fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) presented last Thursday (14 February 2013) simply lacked inspiration. President Zuma missed the opportunity to use the occasion as platform to inspire confidence by providing the solutions to the many challenges confronting the nation. Instead, all he gave us was a bland version of previous SONAs, which provides no hope for our country.
