A Journey from Formation to Faithful Action On 3 September 2026, in Delft, we gathered to celebrate the graduation of the uHambo 2026 cohort. There was a sense of joy and anticipation in the room as the leaders presented the project concepts they had developed during the journey and received their certificates of completion. The...
As this Women’s Month draws to a close, we remember the women who stood together against the Pass Laws in the mid 50s, refusing to accept a system that determined where they could live, work and move. Their struggle remains part of South Africa’s memory, and yet this August we find ourselves facing an unsettling...
How Uhambo walked alongside Anelisa Anelisa Tyam has a passion for the young people in her classes and school that is tangible. She teaches up to 50 learners at a time, from Grades 8 to 12 in a school in Delft, Cape Town, in an environment where many young people are at risk and vulnerable....
A provocation by Zenzile Molo. We have spent today looking at two of the stories Luke tells of meals around the table with Jesus.

On Wednesday, 30 September, marches will be taking place in at least Pretoria and Cape Town as part of the “Unite Against Corruption” Campaign. Since the public announcement of a march was made, the Warehouse staff have wrestled with God and each other around what opportunities and risks the march avails to the work of...
