OUR
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
Our
vision
is one of a society that is based on Biblical values which guarantees
the right
of all people to live in an equal, free, and open democracy, and to
expect a
government that governs justly in honour of a righteous God.
We
unashamedly declare that we acknowledge
the absolute sovereignty
of God, that we are willing to submit to the authority of the Bible and
a moral
code based on Biblical Norms and Values and subscribe to the ordering
of
society according to the Biblical principle of unity in diversity.
We believe that there are certain
non-negotiables in
structuring a society under Biblical principles and commit ourselves
fully to
these –
- The
removal of all forms of
discrimination from society that is based on culture, creed, language,
sex, political affiliation, or any form of people group. We
deny
the concept of race
as a myth of evolutionists and do not recognise the validity of the
term in
describing any human being created by God
- A
federal system of governance
whereby power is devolved to the lowest possible level, without with
proper
separation of legislative, judicial and executive power. Fool proof
checks and
balances must be implemented to prevent and prosecute any form of
manipulation
or undue influence in other levels of authority.
- An
economic framework and policy
that addresses the needs of all the peoples of South Africa,
based on a free
market economy, with necessary measures in place to prevent
monopolisation and
exploitation of entrepreneurs, employees and consumers.
- A
policing, defence and justice
service that protects and serves the people and not the state. The
state shall
without abdication seek to protect the lives of all it’s citizens, and
in
particular the unborn and those who cannot speak for or defend
themselves.
Policing systems to be community based and a justice system that is
accessible
to all without being inhibitive because of cost or unnecessary
administrative
burdens.
- The
independence of civil organisations is imperative
to any free society. Organs of civil society shall operate without
interference
and in a spirit of mutual co-operation. There shall be guaranteed
freedom of
religion, a media sector free from undue influence and a recognition of
these
civil organisations for their contribution to the healthy growth of the
nation
