Anglican Church archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane criticised community leaders calling for the return of the death penalty. He asked, " how can community leaders who consistently fail the children of this nation, call for a return of the death penalty and look their own families in the eye?" The archbishop described the calls for a return of the death penalty in South Africa as horrifying. An inter-faith church service called for a halt to the execution of Philadelphia death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal.
