Rubin Phillip (born c. 1948) is bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Natal.[1] The great-grandchild of indentured labourers from Andhra Pradesh, Phillip is the first person of Indian heritage in South Africa to hold the position of Bishop of Natal. He grew up in Clairwood, a suburb of Durban with a large concentration of people of Indian descent, in a non-religious household, but converted to Christianity. He was a noted anti-apartheid activist and spent three years under house arrest in the 1970s[2] and was banned in 1973.[3] He was enthroned as bishop in February 2000.[4]
He continues to take political positions and remains connected to grassroots struggles.[5][6]
