Church and Community Liaison Director, Mzwandile Molo says church leaders will begin a silent protest on the 16 September calling for accountability.
"It has been proven in the most unhealthy way - the COVID corruption comes up at the time when the nation is most vulnerable.
"Where money meant for the sick, for those who are hungry, unemployed, for those who are dying is taken by those who are politically connected and who are corrupt in business practices.
"We are not a country that will be defined by corruption," says Molo.
