Faith: News, Voices and Stories from Across Africa

Faith shapes daily life for millions across Africa. Here you’ll find news about churches, mosques, traditional healers, court cases that touch on belief, and how faith communities respond to big events. We focus on clear, practical stories that matter to people — not theology lectures.

You’ll read fast updates when faith leaders make headlines, human stories about funerals and healing, and reporting on tense moments where belief and the law meet. For example, recent coverage of Gogo Maweni’s court appearance shows how we handle legal cases involving traditional healers with facts and context. We also covered the passing of Nollywood elder Asa Koko and how communities reacted — a mix of grief, ceremony and public memory.

Faith affects how people gather, vote, and cope with crises. Take power cuts: when Eskom brought back Stage 3 load-shedding, churches and mosques had to change service times and rely on generators. That’s the kind of everyday impact we track — how belief and routine collide, and how communities adapt.

What you’ll find here

Short, useful items and deeper reads. Expect:

- News: court rulings, clergy statements, festival dates and safety notices.
- Profiles: leaders, sangomas, youth ministers and community volunteers.
- Local impact: how power outages, politics or health crises change worship and gatherings.
- Explanations: plain answers about rituals, legal issues, and how traditional and modern practices overlap.

We don’t assume you already know the background. When a story needs context — like a legal charge or a ritual practice — we explain it in simple terms, so you can follow why it matters now.

How we cover sensitive faith stories

Religion is personal. We approach stories with respect and care. That means checking facts, talking to people directly affected, and avoiding sensational language. If a case involves allegations or legal action, we clearly label what’s confirmed and what’s still under investigation. If a community raises concerns, we give them space to speak.

If you follow this tag, you’ll get balanced reporting that highlights lived experience. We publish eyewitness accounts, official statements, and practical tips — like how to attend a ceremony during power cuts or where to find community support after a loss.

Want to stay updated? Bookmark this page, sign up for our Faith tag alerts, or follow us on social. Send tips or local notices — many stories start with a message from a reader. If a topic needs deeper digging, tell us and we’ll look into it.

Faith stories are about people and how they live. We aim to bring those stories forward clearly, fairly, and without judgment.
