Mukondeleli Ramulondi (Uniting Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa), The Most Revd Bishop Lunga ka Siboto (Ethiopian Episcopal Church), Bishop Ziphozihle Siwa (Methodist Church of Southern Africa/SACC), Prof Mary-Anne Plaatjies Van Huffel (Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa), Dr David Phaladi Tswaedi (Lutheran Communion in Southern Africa) and Rev.
