subjugation of Africans, Coloureds and Indians for the sake of South Africa. Christian Missionaries based their principles and programmes on doctrines of racial superiority, relegated Africans to a second race, denying then the human respect.
Christian missionaries never at one time had any respect for the religious freedom of Africans who practiced Traditional religion. They regarded Christianity and Traditional African religions as an equal and worked hard to eliminate them. There was a secret agreement on the practice of mission in Africa. Christian missionaries did not try so much to convert Muslims, and Muslims didn't work hard to convert Christians - as they already belong to a faith. Followers of traditional African religions, on the other hand, constituted the contested missionary fields, as they still were regarded not "belong to a faith". They were seen as "heathens" - a term still widely used by Christian missionaries. This contravenes the Universal Right to Religious Freedom.
