Newly elected ACDP Councillor, Sipho Xazana, has reported being threatened, intimidated and assaulted by ANC members.
Sipho Xazana, who has been elected as the ACDP representative for Khayelitsha, has reported that at the first leadership meeting he had been threatened to vote for the ANC candidate for mayor. He received both verbal and visual intimidations, including someone in the Council Chamber gallery drawing a finger across his own throat while looking at Sipho. Various ANC members threatened Sipho that they would kill him if he failed to vote for their candidate. There is a growing worldwide war against Christianity. Last year, over 160,000 Christians were killed for their faith. Christians have been beaten, imprisoned and killed for the crime of being a Christian in Red China. In Sudan, Christians have been bombed, massacred and sold into slavery. In Indonesia, Muslim mobs have wiped out entire villages of Christians, burning down many hundreds of churches.
Christians have been targeted and assassinated in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Missionaries in various parts of the world have been kidnapped, murdered and, in India, even burned alive by a mob of Hindu militants. The founder of KwaSizabantu Mission, Rev. Erlo Stegen is the youngest of 5 brothers. In his testimony, he explains that when he was growing up, he only went to church because his parents compelled him to go. His attitude was: “When I’m grown up, I’ll throw all this religious stuff overboard.”Then God began to convict him of his disobedience towards his parents, his quarrelsomeness with his brothers, and the wickedness of his own heart. “I was a lost sinner, in spite of the fact that I said my prayers and went to church. God says, ‘The soul that sinneth, it shall die’.” Ezekiel 18:4 “If sin rules a person’s life, that soul shall die, unless he confesses his sins and forsakes them. I cried to God, ‘Lord Jesus, I need you! Change my life and save me from my sins’.”

In an ominous precedent, which threatens religious freedom in South Africa, Good News Community Radio has lost its court appeal and is being ordered to stop broadcasting. Award winning Good News Community Radio (GNCR) in KwaZulu-Natal has been ordered by ICASA (the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) to switch off and close down. Now its court appeal to reverse this instruction has been dismissed with costs. It is as unacceptable for any government agency to close down a Christian Radio station, as it would be for any government to close down a Christian church. On 24 November, Rashid Kara, pleaded“not guilty” to the death threat charge. The case has now been remanded to the 21 December. The police inform me that the case against this man is solid: with his original written statement to the police admitting guilt, his laptop computer with the death threat letter that we had received on it, and his fingerprints on the laptop. They also have other evidence that identifies him as a senior member of a radical Muslim group with links to international terrorism.
Christian Action has been involved in a whole series of pro-family events and actions in order to counter the relentless attack of the homosexual lobby against the family.
The Paganisation of South Africa The ANC has been railroading through Parliament the legalisation of homosexual “marriages” in South Africa . The betrayal of this country into the hands of Marxist mass murderers has led to the paganisation of this once strongly Christian nation. Once babies were protected from abortion, all foul language, sex scenes and blasphemy were censored out of Hollywood films before they could be shown in our country, Sundays were honoured with no commercial activity or cinemas open, in honour of the Lord’s Day, schools started with Bible reading, hymn singing and prayer in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, today, we have legalised gambling, legalised prostitution, legalised abortion, and now even legalised homosexual“marriages.” Every year, since 1995, Africa Christian Action has used National Women’s Day, on 9 August, as an opportunity for outreaches in the shopping centres. This year ACA mobilised outreaches in 8 shopping centres countrywide. Tens of thousands of leaflets and Gospel tracts were printed and five thousand balloons with Scriptures and pro-family messages were produced for the event. Over 100 volunteers took part in the various outreaches in Bloemfontein, Kroonstad, Port Alfred, Chatsworth and throughout Cape Town.

There were a few who mourned. Those who were devastated knew that whilst 90% of the ideas were good the other 10% would result in serious consequences for Christians. The moment that the country refused to acknowledge submission to God, allowed special rights for homosexuals and institutionalized the murder of children the writing was on the wall for Christians.
