Kenneth Meshoe reǦelected as A

JOHANNESBURG - Reverend Kenneth Meshoe has been re-elected as the African Christian Democratic Party’s (ACDP) President once again after 29 years of leading the party.

While Wayne Thring made a comeback as the party’s second in command. The party whose values are based on what they call a Godly Government held its three-day National General Conference, which culminated in the election of its leadership and adaptation of the party’s polices.

The policies will inform the party’s direction over the next couple years. The NGC takes place over a threeyear period. Hundreds of ACDP branch members from across the country’s nine provinces gathered over three days to discuss the party’s policy positions.

The party used the conference to affirm its stance on the COVID-9 pandemic and vaccines used against the virus. It’s been critical of mandatory vaccinations policies and last year launched a legal bid to stop

COVID-9 vaccinations for children.

Earlier this year; the party submitted two petitions to Parliament aimed at preventing South Africa from committing itself to a World Health Organisation pandemic treaty.

Meshoe addressed members on the party’s approach.

“The ACDP opposes the World Health Organisation plan to implement a power grab in the form of a global pandemic agreement while the world’s attention is diverted by the Russia and Ukraine crisis.

Support

“We call on the South African public to ensure that government does not support the World Health Organisation’s plan to unilaterally control the world health agenda without the direct and transparent participation of the citizenry of the economy.”

The party lamented the ongoing rolling blackouts crisis faced by the country and has called for accountability for the current energy crisis.
