THE ruling African National Congress (ANC) reacted sharply this week to a declaration by an opposition party mayoral candidate that South Africa’s liberal constitution was written by ”communists” and was un-Christian. ”Christians must choose between the Constitution and the Bible,” the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) mayoral candidate for Cape Town Peter Marais reportedly said. The constitution was ”written by Communists under the cloak of democracy,” he apparently said. ANC chief whip in parliament Tony Yengeni said his party was ”appalled” by the comments. – AFP
