The Most Revd Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, attended a special service to celebrate the 70th birthday of Cape Town's oldest Anglican Church yesterday. Langa's St Cyprian's Church has a rich history of survival through the adversity of apartheid's Group Areas Act.
The church is older than the building itself. It was established in 1934. St Cyprian's Langa was forcibly removed in the 60s from Ndabeni in the city bowl. The church became a powerful symbol of unity for the people of Cape Town's oldest township.
