This article traces the development of Presbyterianism in Southern Africa from its beginnings in the Scottish Mission to the present in terms of its heritage and legacy. It notes the formative events of the formation of the PCSA in 1897 and the Mzimba Secession. The independent though not autonomous Bantu Presbyterian Church of South Africa was formed in 1923. These churches boast a proud tradition of involvement both in the ecumenical movement and the struggle for social justice in South Africa.
