Courage – Prophetic Moral Strength 251who, in the name of their faith, energetically and courageously, decide
to go against the flow in countries where corruption is institutionalized
and where moral depravity and injustice have reached an intolerable and
indescribable level. Sadly, such men and women are not numerous, but
they are just the sort of people needed in most African countries caught
in the stranglehold of corruption. These strong and courageous fools for
God are God-inspired and are capable of playing the role of the people’s
conscience by challenging the leading classes on the crimes and sins that
they are inflicting on their powerless, defenceless peoples who are re-
duced to silence.
Africa, if not the whole world, needs such people today more than
ever.
