Casually Dressed Bishop Becomes Successor of Cardinal

Bishop Abel Gabuza, 63, of Kimberley, South Africa, was appointed by Pope Francis on December 9 as Durban coadjutor-archbishop and therefore as the successor of Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, 77.

Gabuza was ordained a priest in 1984 and a bishop in 2011. As bishop, Gabuza attended official meetings in casual dress.
