| Sumario: | One of the great characteristics of Chief Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli was that he was a devout Christian. He attributed his political commitment to his Christian commitment by saying I am in the congress simply because I am a Christian. He is remembered as one leader who held the interface between faith and the politics of struggle in a creative tension. Formany this accounts for his legacy as a successful and outstanding leader who went on to winmany accolades for his leadership qualities, including being the first continental African to win the Nobel Peace Prize. This paper explores the influence of Christianity on his political leadership and the lessons gained from 20 years of democracy. |
