“…Although apartheid discrimination in this context typically took the explicit form of racial discrimination, gender-related inequalities are also part of its legacy (Meyiwa et al 2017). Over and above this legacy of unequal pay and work-related gender discrimination, the apartheid legacy of violence has also contributed to the country's degrees of gender-based violence, which are amongst the highest globally (Naidoo and Nadvi 2013). Given these legacy effects, the post-apartheid regime has prioritised gender-equality in its equity legislation, for example in the form of the "Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996) (Act 108 of 1996)" (Meyiwa et al 2017), the "Domestic Violence Act (Act 116 of 1998)", and the "Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act (32 of 2007)" (Naidoo and Nadvi 2013).…”

Background: Statistics from the Pew Research Centre indicate that in sub-Saharan Africa, 796 million out of 822 m people claim the same Christian religious affiliation. Pentecostal Christians total 107 m. These figures suggest that religion shapes the worldview of many sub-Saharan inhabitants. Many are adherents of Ubuntu, which does not dichotomise lived experiences from the influence of the spiritual (the Supreme Being, spirits, and the ancestors). On the one hand, the World Health Organization has labelled South Africa as the rape capital of the world because it accounts for the highest figure of gender-based violence (GBV) globally. Intimate partner violence (IPV) and non-partner violence, characterised by rape and attempted rape, constitute a significant portion of sexual violence, which is the primary and highest category of GBV in South Africa. The second, third, and fourth categories are physical violence, socio-economic and financial violence, and psychological/emotional violence. Various South African courts have sentenced several pastors from the Neo-prophetic Movement (NPM) for non-partner violence.Objectives: The aim of this study is to reflect on non-partner violence within the NPM in South Africa and to respond to this scourge by applying Ubuntu Pentecostalism as a framework.Method: This article thus poses the question: How might South African Pentecostals address the scourge of non-partner violence within the NPM? It, thus, uses Ubuntu Pentecostalism.Results: The article shows that is that is possible to mobilise members of NPM and the surrounding community to counteract the scourge of non-partner violence among NPM in South Africa.Conclusion: The article concludes by providing a four-step strategy to curb th scourge of non-partner violence in the NPM in South Africa.Contribution: This strategy contributes to curbing the scourge of non-partner violence within the NPM in South Africa.
