Dutch Reformed Church in Africa talks with the ANC

A delegation of four members of the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa, led by Dr Nico Smith, talked with the African National Congress (ANC) in Lusaka, Zambia. The Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) decided to start its own mission work under Black South Africans at its first synod held in 1824. In 1857, the DRC synod decided to have separate church services for White and Coloured members, and in 1881 a separate church was formed for non-White members, called the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC). In 1951, the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA) was founded for Black people.
