Zuma meets religious leaders

ANC president Jacob Zuma has requested that all religious leaders work together in irradicating the racial divide in the Western Cape. President Zuma wants all religious leaders to deal with the idea that the Western Cape has the most racial challenges."religious members have a role in society and said it was time for goverment and churches to be united in leading communities."

The article was interesting for me because as a black Cape Tonian I could relate to the issue at hand that President Jacob Zuma is trying resolve. There is indeed a racial division in the Western Cape and the face that something is being done about caught my attention.Naturally this story was covered by Western Cape newspapers the Cape Times and Weekend Argus, since it concerns them. It is well written and a well reprted story, it is short ,straight forward story that deals with a shadowed issue.Anather reason i find this particular article interesting is because it is directed at religious leaders which immediately made the fight against racial division into a spiritual one.Anather point that intrigued me about the article is that even though places like Bloemfontein,Freestate and Pretoria are originally afrikaans yet dont have the same problem as the Western Cape which is more diverse.
