The Church of the Province of Southern Africa is the Anglican province in the southern part of Africa, including dioceses in Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Saint Helena, South Africa and Swaziland. The primate is the Archbishop of Cape Town. The current archbishop is Njongonkulu Ndungane. His predecessor was Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu.

As of 2005, the church has announced plans to change its name to the Anglican Church of Southern Africa by 2008.

The province is regarded as the most liberal Anglican province in Africa, particularly on issues such as ordination of women and homosexuality.

Note

The Church of England in South Africa separated after 1870, and was constituted in 1938. It is a separate church body and is not part of the Anglican Communion although it is strongly supported by and has close ties with the Anglican Diocese of Sydney.
