Revds. Fanyana Mhlophe and Diba Madolo wrote on the hardships of the Baptist Convention of South Africa Pastors. Mhlophe writes that BCSA pastors were first trained at Millard Bible School which was situated at Orlando in SOWETO. The reasons which caused its removal to Ciskei were motivated purely by apartheid. In the Ciskei, the pastors were trained at the Baptist Bible Institute in Fort White, which was designed for Black pastors only. Theological training was subjected to the standards imposed by the white Baptist Union. Mhlophe says that limited their potential, and the curriculum was foreign in all respects. When BCSA pastors left the Baptist College, they were in possession of a diploma. The effect should not be overlooked: when the curriculum is foreign, so is the graduated pastor.
Madolo agrees that inferior theological training was the result of apartheid. Poor leadership training has adversely affected BCSA to the extent that churches are starving for lack of food from the pulpit. “Even worse, most pastors feel secure with that “Mickey Mouse” diploma they have. Yet their ignorance becomes apparent as soon as Convention Pastors open their mouths. Often our deacons know more about relevant issues such as the Kairos document than our pastors do”.

Between 1957 to 1960, the late Rev. William Duma, Rev. Elijah Mkhwanazi and others conducted campaigns under the slogan ‘Jesus Saves’ (how I wish I was there- may God bless his servants!). This campaign, according to Dr. Gideon Makhanya, caused a lot of disquiet among some white missionaries and many senior Bantu Baptist Church Pastors who had no knowledge of Jesus’ saving power. What is interesting is that the Whites responded to this campaign by introducing CHURCH UNIFORMS for Baptist Women (Black blouse with white collar, black skirt, hat and shoes), which became a form of false hope of salvation. They were vigorously defended as a means of avoiding unwarranted competition among poor black women. The uniformed members were given rules that prohibited them from sinning while robed in their church uniform. The uniform was to be worn for important services such as Baptism, communion, conferences, and funerals. The members who had the uniform were given a false sense of salvation and, therefore, personal commitment to Christ had become unnecessary.
When the Baptist Convention of South Africa, became independent of the white led Baptist Union, we were free indeed… free from white domination, free from false sense of salvation, we clothe ourselves with Christ… FREEdom in Christ is freedom indeed! (BCSA HISTORY)
