The South African political sector is currently in turmoil. There are significant ideological battles raging in the major political parties that threaten to alter the political landscape for good.
Former president, Jacob Zuma held a political campaign style rally outside the Durban High Court last week following his appearance on charges of corruption, fraud and racketeering.
The Zuma faction in the ANC – many of whom face similar charges of corruption, fraud, money laundering and the gross mismanagement of state resources – supported him at the rally.
The media reports, a bitter Zuma is fuelling a factional war within the ruling party and even threatened to spill the beans on several prominent ANC leaders involved in state capture.
Meanwhile, the DA held its two-day federal council meeting in Johannesburg over the weekend. Apparently, the liberal wing of the party is not happy with Mmusi Maimane’s leadership.
Now that the ANC has adopted most of the EFF’s radical policies like land expropriation without compensation, Malema and co will have to become much more radical to remain relevant.
Add to that the more than 100 new political parties registering for the General Elections in 2019 and South Africa’s political landscape may look considerably different next year.
Arlene and I continue our “Watchmen on the Wall” countrywide Pastors Briefings this month to inform leaders about the unfolding political situation in preparation for the Elections.
We depart for Bloemfontein on 14 June for strategic leadership meetings in that city. We travel to Kimberley on 15 June where I will address a major Pastors Conference, on 15/16 June and meet with another Pastors network on 18 June. I will also preach at City of Hope Church on 17 June.
Arlene and I drive up to Pretoria on 19 June where I will speak at the “Love Pretoria East” Pastors Fraternal on 20 June. On 21 June I will address the Lenasia Pastors Fraternal in Johannesburg. The discussions following my talks will focus primarily on the political situation in South Africa.
On 21 June we fly to Durban where I will address a combined Ministers Fraternal on 23 June. I will also preach at morning and evening services in Durban on Sunday 24 June.
From Durban I fly back to Johannesburg on 26 June to participate in a two-day strategy-planning meeting on 27/28 June with key Christian political, Church and civil society leaders.
Please pray for these initiatives. They are critical. There are several ideological groups – many with wicked agendas – currently planning to influence the outcomes of the Elections next year.
If the Christian Community fails to significantly impact the General Elections in 2019, we will lose what little influence we have left in Parliament. This will be fatal for faith, family & freedom.
During the past five years, millions of Christian citizens prayed for Godly men and women to lead in our politics. That time is now. You and I must be the answer to this prayer. Pray & Act!
