ACDP to launch election manifesto on Saturday
Like many of its counterparts, its offer to South Africans is likely to focus on intermittent power and water cuts. The ACDP’s stance on the Israeli-Palestine conflict and homosexuality still stand – with the former likely to feature during Saturday’s event.

JOHANNESBURG - Around 5,000 African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) members will gather at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday for the launch of its election 2024 manifesto.
Like many of its counterparts, its offer to South Africans is likely to focus on intermittent power and water cuts.
It's also likely to propose solutions for the unemployment crisis and ways to curb the high crime rate plaguing the country.
The ACDP’s stance on the Israeli-Palestine conflict and homosexuality still stands – with the former likely to feature during Saturday’s event.
The party built on Christian values has been in support of Israel. This is in a country that’s not only objected to the Israeli retaliatory attacks on Gaza but is seeking to have them declared as genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The ACDP’s deputy president Wayne Thring:
“The other thing that sets us apart is that the ACDP is unashamedly Christian and we hold to a world view that espouses Christian values, values that are eternal, that are global, international.”
