The South African Council of Churches (SACC) is an interdenominational forum in South Africa.

It was a prominent anti-apartheid organisation during the years of apartheid in South Africa.

Its leaders have included Desmond Tutu, Beyers Naudé and Frank Chikane.

The SACC headquarters at Khotso House in Johannesburg were destroyed by a bomb in 1988. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission later found that State President PW Botha had personally ordered the bombing. Former Minister of Law and Order Adriaan Vlok and several senior policemen applied for and were granted amnesty for the bombing.[1]
