Continental Board for Southern Africa
The Continental Board of Counselors for Southern Africa was a body responsible for protection and propagation of the Bahá'í Faith in Southern Africa, and for appointing members to Auxiliary Boards across Southern Africa. Its membership was appointed by the Universal House of Justice.
History[edit]
The Continental Board for Southern Africa was formed along with ten other Boards in 1968. They were established by the Universal House of Justice so that the functions that the Hands of the Cause performed could continue to be carried out despite the Bahá'í community being unable to appoint additional Hands. In 1980 it was merged with the other Boards in Africa to form a single Continental Board for Africa.
