Dube-Ncube made these remarks today at the 40<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Celebration of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA), YMG eMpangeni Circuit 717 which were presided over by the Natal Coastal District Bishop Rev Linda Mandindi.<\/p>\n<p>The celebrations were attended by the Former Presiding Bishop of MCSA and Secretary General of the council of churches Rev, Dr Mvumelwano Dandala, the Mayor of uMhlathuze Local Municipality Cllr Mduduzi Mhlongo and local councillors.<\/p>\n<p>In her address MEC Dube-Ncube praised the Perish located in Esikhawini, for the sterling work that it does to fight against the abuse of women and children abuse and social ills like drug and substance abuse. \u201cChurches play a critical role as a reliable partner to government efforts to create harmony within our communities. The spiritual nourishment they provide helps in the fight against the demons of abuse plaguing our communities\u201d Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p>The MEC called upon the church to continue praying for the well-being of the people of the province more especially as we approach the festive season; &#8220;As leaders we need your prayers as the church, our councilors, mayors and Amakhosi need your prayers as we execute the will of our communities\u201d continued Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p>Dube-Ncube\u2019s visit to the perish, is part of government\u2019s efforts to strengthen ties with faith based organisations. \u201cThe challenges that we face as a province are vast and require a concerted effort right across all sectors of society. As government we will not be able to succeed on our own\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0<a
