Members of the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) in the Western Cape demonstrated on Friday outside the SABC offices in Sea Point, Cape Town, against the prevalence of blasphemous language broadcast by the public broadcaster.
The demonstration was organised by Africa Christian Action (ACA).
”The fact that Christians have to protest here today confirms that South Africa has leaders in government and in the media who reject Biblical principles and who allow the name of Jesus Christ to be blasphemed on a daily basis,” ACDP provincial secretary general Grant Haskin told the crowd.
He accused leaders in government of leading South Africa away from its Christian heritage by undermining the ”Biblical moral foundations people had”.
Haskin said the solution lay in the Christian majority electing a new, God-fearing, Biblically-based, ACDP government so as to influence the values at all levels of leadership in the SABC.
Haskin said the challenges facing the country such as crime, HIV/Aids and unemployment, would only be solved when a God-fearing government had been elected. – Sapa
