Churches want government to allow 'connection' at Easter─── 05:53 Mon, 29 Mar 2021
Charismatic churches are calling on the government to recognise the importance of connection at Easter.
Many churches want worshippers to spend this religious holiday in church and not at home via online streaming.
The presiding Bishop of Grace Bible Church, Mosa Sono, says many people are lacking spiritually and are depressed.
"The number of people who are struggling with depression, family breakdown, a lack of being serviced spiritually is high."
Meanwhile, the Health Department reported 1,387 new COVID-19 infections in the last 24 hours.
Sadly, 46 more people have died due to COVID-19 complications. South Africa's death toll is at 52,648. SA's recovery rate is at 95%.
