The Council for Churches in Africa (CCA) held the Ecumenical Honorary Awards Ceremony where they honoured African luminaries including Chief Phineas Magezi Risenga of Venda in South Africa.
The honour was accorded to several leaders who contributed to the transformation of societies throughout Africa. The awards were presented by Archbishop dr. Rocky Moyo with vast experience locally, regionally and internationally.
In his acceptance speech, while receiving the award, Chief Resinga said he felt honoured to receive such an accolade, a sign that he is a leader with people at heart.
“I accept the honour and promise to continuously adhere to the principles of peace, unity and development amongst societies. I also recognise and appreciate the efforts by Arch-bishop Dr St. Phillip Pferedzai (in absentia) ofwho commits his time serving CCA Bishops Council.
“I further acknowledge the recognition of an award to me and dedicate it to the whole of South African traditional leadership since an honour to one is an honour to the whole of my constituency. We thank the Founder President, Arch-bishop Dr Professor Moyo for conferring Honorary Awards to Chiefs, Indigenous leaders and Bishops who are working tirelessly in transforming societies,” Chief Resinga said.
