Sitembele Tobela Mzamane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sitembele Tobela Mzamane^[1] is the current Anglican Bishop of Mthatha ^[2], and although the first Bishop to bear that title he is the 10th incumbent-the Bishopric previously being known as St John's^[3]. A former Dean of the Diocese’s cathedral^[4] he is opposed to the blessing of same-sex relationships^[5]. During his episcopacy the number of parishes has grown so greatly^[6] that Dr Mzamane has drafted plans to split the area with a new Episcopal See centred around Ngcobo.
