In the African context it is clear that important new directives for sound leadership is needed. From the missiological perspective an overview of leadership and biblical guidelines are given.

In chapter three a biblical overview of leadership is put forward. The Old Testament’s view of king, prophet and priest is discussed. According to the New Testament Jesus replied to the environmental problems of his time and age. Jesus himself was a shepherd of his people, servant and steward. Paul’s views are also discussed. In chapter four the context of Africa is reviewed. Africa is a continent with as terrible past and important aspects of the pre-colonial and colonial rule is discussed. However, the problems of Africa are not only as a result of its colonial past. Leadership is often lacking and dictators and military leaders often bring about disaster to their people. In chapter five the socio-economic an political stance of the church is discussed. The church has an important role to play in Africa to help the continent on a new way.

Daar is dikwels ‘n gebrek aan goeie leierskap en diktators en militêre leiers bring dikwels ellende vir hulle mense mee. In Hoofstuk Vyf word die kerk se sosio-ekonomiese ingesteldheid beskryf. Die kerk het inderdaad ‘n belangrike rol te speel In Hoofstuk Ses word die kerk se rol in die revolusie van Afrika bespreek.
