The bible, black women and Brazil
Lebo Diseko travels to Brazil to find out if the votes of Evangelical Christian women of colour may deliver President Bolsonaro his second victory.
Evangelical Christian women of colour were the kingmakers in Brazil’s last presidential election. In May, a corruption conviction that barred the former left wing President from running was quashed on a technicality. And the stage is now set for an epic election showdown where experts say it’s women of colour who will have the deciding vote. But after four years in power, will they turn a blind eye to Jair Bolsonaro’s comments that some consider misogynistic and racist? In ‘The Bible, Black women and Brazil’, Lebo Diseko travels to Brazil for Heart and Soul from the 91Èȱ¬ World Service, to find out if their vote may deliver the President his second victory.
