The COVID-19 pandemic plunged vulnerable populations and the church in South Africa into a crisis. This article argues that the situation of poor and vulnerable people is not an accident but a deliberate design of the powerful and is therefore closely linked to South Africa's political past. The paper traces the origins of structural vulnerabilities in various apartheid laws, including the Native Land Act, the Group Areas Act, and the Bantu Education Act. It argues that this deliberate shaping of vulnerable groups continues in post-apartheid South Africa -hence, South Africa has evolved from a racialized society to a market-based society. Finally, the article concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic offers a kairos moment for the church in South Africa to redesign its theologies and consider an option for Black theology as prophetic theology.

This article sets forth a controversial thesis which suggests that the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa, although considered a black church, is in fact not a black church in the sense in which a radical black church is traditionally understood. A black church, it is argued, is perceived to be one that is a self-determined church which supports initiatives of ameliorating the depressive situations in which black people find themselves. References are made to black theology as a critical theology which was never accepted in the black church due to the dependency syndrome which was brought about by the white benevolence of the Dutch Reformed Church. This, it is argued, had become innate in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa which still considers itself as a so-called daughter church of the white Dutch Reformed Church.

“…Esta clasificación les valió la razonable crítica de haber incurrido en una teleología evidente, lo que no ha bastado para que otro grupo encabezado por el historiador británico Antony Hopkins presentara en 2002 una alternativa no muy alejada de la anterior. Hopkins acepta una globalización arcaica (una era preindustrial difusa antes de 1600) y también una protoglobalización (de 1600 a 1800), pero distingue luego entre la globalización moderna (entre 1800 y 1950) y la poscolonial o contemporánea (de 1950 en adelante) 67 . Tanta teleología dio una nueva oportunidad a los globalistas puros como Christopher Bayly, para quien la globalización es un fenómeno contemporáneo incubado durante las crisis de 1720-1780, 1780-1820 y 1840-1880 68 .…”
