Overcoming racism through faith, in apartheid South Africa

White South African, Angela Kemm, 73, grew up in Cape Town during apartheid. When she came to faith in Jesus, God asked her to serve Black people in the townships, which was illegal at that time

I was born in 1951 in the small town of Mossel Bay, a four-hour drive from Cape Town. My dad was British and my mother South African. I’m the second youngest of six children. It was during the time of apartheid and I was brought up in a racist home so never had black or brown friends. The laws of South Africa and my family did not allow it. As a family we were churched but did not have a living faith.
