Ethics in the new South Africa This paper was read at a symposium where the calling of the church in the 'New South Africa' was discussed by delegates of twe churches, the Nederduitsch Hervomuie Kerk van Afrika and the Hetvomuie Kerk in Suidelike Afrika. The 'New South Africa' will oblige the NHKA van Afrika as well as the HKSA to develop a new orientation in ethical mat-ters. The churches will have to concentrate on a wider range of ethical problems that were not in focus in the 'Old South Africa '. The new situation is going to force White and Black Christians to work together harmoniously. Suggestions are made as to how the churches can concentrate more effectively on ethical questions.
