520 |a The article argues that when indigenous leadership of churches in Africa took over it was a welcome relief, a process that must never be reversed. That take-over followed the cry for a moratorium and for indigenous leadership that was not given space by white missionaries, who were at the forefront of the process of colonisation. In this article a question is raised as to whether indigenous leadership is offering leadership that is qualitatively different from that of white missionaries who were also regarded as modern-day Pharaohs and who were incapable of liberating and transforming the church. Sadly the indigenous leadership is emulating the behaviours and tendencies of those who were seen as modern-day Pharaohs and subsequently the church is not able to be true to its nature and mission work. The article looks at the ancient Pharaohs and their tendencies and concludes that there are some similarities obetween the leadership of missionaries and indigenous leadership. The article makes a case for different leadership that is selfless, ethical and service oriented as taught and embodied by Jesus Christ.
