[Business Day] 27 Sep 2007--Newly elected Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba said yesterday he would not imitate his predecessors, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane.

Makgoba, 47, the bishop of Grahamstown, is the youngest person to be elected archbishop of Cape Town and head of the Anglican Church in southern Africa.

He was elected on the second ballot, ahead of Unisa vice-chancellor Barney Pityana and Johannes Seoka, the bishop of Pretoria. Makgoba takes over from Ndungane on January 1.
