Dr. Peter Hammond on the 30 June March, Migration, Corruption & Biblical Justice

In this topical episode of Radio Cape Pulpit, Dr. Peter Hammond addresses the upcoming "March and March" protest scheduled for 30 June 2026, which has caused widespread concern among South Africans. He acknowledges legitimate frustrations over illegal migration, jobs, and services being affected by foreigners, but emphasises that Scripture is clear: "One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you" (Numbers 15:15). He warns against violence against individuals (such as the Malawian man beaten to death by a mob) and says we must treat foreigners with love and compassion, following the Golden Rule (Luke 6:31). Dr. Hammond points to massive corruption at Home Affairs as a root cause of the crisis, and notes that the government's R600 million plan to prevent violence would have been better spent on border protection and deportations. He calls on citizens to use their votes in the upcoming municipal elections, to hold government accountable, and to pray for peace and respect for life and property.
