Kenneth would make a very good leader for our country,as a Christian I also understand that many non-christians believe in the principal of the ten commamdments but are threatened by the name Jesus, but we also need their vote.Kenneth's moral standing is without question, but has marginalized himself because of our accountability, but everybody knows what good is. I still thank our Lord for a man like you, bless you in the comming election.

Politics and religion do not mix. Religion is terrible blight upon society and the sooner it dies out the better. The idea that "rules" from an antiquated book should govern the actions of people today is as absurd as it is objectionable. The ACDP should take its religious message back to the churches which is the only place it is wanted - the public and the vast vast majority of voters don't want it.

Religion and politics are a toxic mix. No good can ever flow from it. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions- then Kenneth, you are on the right track.

Lets look at world history, as in the past 4000-6000 years...if God is not central in the governing body, it is heading to no good place. RSA need leaders who live close to God (Yahweh Elohim), and not only say they are religious. Religion is DEAD! Jesus is ALIVE! We have only a few political parties which acknowledge God, this is a huge problem for SA's future. Study good leaders - Moses, David, Joseph, Paul...not all had great backgrounds, but when they were leading, they knew one thing: God will help them leading the rest...that is what SA and the world needs, but according to Warren (4Apr), does want.

Hmmm, even as fictional characters, the men Steph mentions are terrible examples as leaders, Moses the man who ordered the slaughter of thousands who dared to believe differently to him. David the closet case who sent an innocent man to his death to provide some cover for his philandering. Joseph who frankly preferred dressing in a frock to leading. Paul the homophobic mysogenist is the worst of the lot - In the fictional book containing fables about them they may have achieved some great things but at what cost? No we need rational intelligent people to lead not people blindly following an invisible god to their and our end.

Was William Wilbeforce's strong religious convictions which brought about the freedom of slaves "toxic"? Was the devout Christian Chief Luthuli's convictions to stop oppression a "blight" on society? Religion and politics will always mix, because all men have beliefs which guide their actions. Whether they don't or do believe in God.

We appreciate people like the Rev. Kenneth Meshoe for speaking for the truth, very few people does that. South Africa needs people like you who does not compromise. The Rev. Kenneth Meshoe will be a good president for this country. I believe christians should take a stand in the nation. South Africa to be prosporous, and be respected, it needs men and women of unquestionable integrity. I believe SA doen't need people like Jacob Zuma. We don't need leaders whom we will be ashamed of.

This country needs a higher power more than anything, the lawlesness and corruption in our country is destroying is out of conrol and without people like Rverend Meshoe our country is heading straight to the pits hell.

I agree, the ANC won't get more than 51% Im voting ACDP! The LORD will reign in South Africa!
Moses 09/04/2009 15:17 Comment 10
Our country needs a divine Godly interference from people who are on the right track with God. Nothing can ever work right without a prayer intervention. As Christians we need to stand up and pray for our own country. That is the reason why we need a representation on the parliament through ACDP by Keneth Meshoe to have an understanding of what is going on in our constitution and intervene when it is required. God bless you.

MARRIAGE DOES NOT BELONG TO RELIGION ONLY. ATHEISTS ARE ALLOWED TO GET MARRIED IN FRONT OF THE MAGISTRATE, WHERE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY CHURCH. Equality belongs to everyone. Marriage is for ALL who want to get married, as long as nobody is harmed. Its unconstitutional NOT to allow gay marriage! GET RATIONAL AND LOGICAL PLEASE. STOP BEING SUCH BIGOTS. GIVE ME FREEDOM FROM RELIGION, ITS MY RIGHT. P.S AGAIN, MARRIAGE IS NOT ONLY A RELIGIOUS CONCEPT... LOOK IT UP IN HISTORY

I totally agree with you Jason, when saying religion and politics are a toxic mix. No good can ever flow from it. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions- then Kenneth, you are on the right track.
