Johannesburg, 20 May, 2024 / 10:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Africa Christian Professionals Forum (ACPF) are calling upon the electorate in South Africa to elect political candidates keen on family values and the African cultural heritage during the country’s general elections later this month.
On May 29, eligible voters in South Africa are to take part in the country’s seventh general elections organized under the universal adult suffrage following the end of apartheid era in 1994.
Members of the National Assembly and those of the Provincial Legislature in each of the country’s nine Provinces are to be elected. The Chief Justice is to oversee the election of the country’s president from among the members of the National Assembly, which is the lower house of Parliament.
In a statement shared with ACI Africa on Sunday, May 19, ACPF members say, “As Christians, we emphasize the importance of choosing leaders who are not only capable but also morally upright.”
“We urge voters to carefully consider the candidates and to elect those who will uphold family values, defend the sovereignty of our nation, promote African cultural heritage, and embrace the principles of good governance with integrity,” they say.
