Our hope lies in God and in our Christian Democratic value system. If we are to see true moral renewal in our country, it must first start with us and then our families.

Mr Gordhan was one of the few persons who stood boldly to expose and fight back against State Capture. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to discredit him and taint his public image, but this cannot, and will not, diminish the character of a principled man many have come to know.
The ACDP notes with deep concern that, despite widespread public objections, it has been announced that President Cyril Ramaphosa intends signing the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill (BELA) into law this coming Friday 13 September 2024.
