South Africans urged to follow Benedict Daswa’s lead
In honouring the life of Benedict Daswa yesterday, South Africans were encouraged to stop
violence even if it they did not agree with each other. Daswa was beatified by the Roman
Catholic Church, and was named South Africa's first martyr.
Daswa will be South Africa’s first Catholic martyr
In the next step towards sainthood, Benedict Daswa will be beatified by the Roman Catholic
Church in Limpopo in September. A shrine will be built in the village near where he lived, open
to pilgrimages. Daswa was murdered in 1990 for taking a stand against witchcraft.
