No Neutral Ground Finding Jesus In A Cape Town Ghetto
Pete Portal
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the
world – often described as a kind of heaven on
earth. But for the majority of its inhabitants it is hell.
Ghettoes are everywhere, and for those living in
Manenberg – a coloured township on the Cape
Flats, purpose-built by the apartheid government as
part of its forced removal plan – life is just as
marginal today as it was during apartheid. The main
differences now are the rampant drug use and
widespread gang presence.
No Neutral Ground is the gripping account of Pete
Portal’s move from London to Manenberg, of
addicts and gangsters meeting Jesus and being
transformed, and how he went from living with a
heroin addict to helping establish a church
community – and all the heartbreak and failure
along the way. This is a story of mighty works of
God, as well as relapse, hopelessness and despair;
the miraculous and the mundane, heaven and hell,
all balanced on a knife edge.
