	African Christian Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The African Christian Democratic Party is a political party in South Africa.
		The ACDP platform is based on what it sees as the biblical standard of reconciliation, justice, compassion, tolerance, peace and the sanctity of life, the individual, the family and community.

	The Militant - December 25, 2000 -- ANC keeps majority in South African municipal elections
		Nonracial, democratic elections for the national government took place in 1994 and 1999, and a local government vote was held in 1995-96.
		The Democratic Alliance (DA) gained 23 percent of the votes and the Inkatha Freedom Party 9 percent, with the African Christian Democratic Party, United Democratic Movement, Pan Africanist Congress, and other smaller parties receiving the balance.
		Claims by the Democratic Alliance, echoed in the big-business press worldwide, that the party's strength grew sharply among Africans are exaggerated.

	The Democratic Party (Harpers.org)
		The Democratic Party demonstrated its seriousness of purpose by failing to mount a filibuster to block the confirmation of former senator John Ashcroft, who was defeated by a dead man in the last election; Ashcroft was sworn in as Attorney General by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in a private ceremony.
		Democrats were said to be confused by the contradiction between President Bush's sweet-talking, inclusive rhetoric and his hardline, right-wing deeds.
		Democratic leaders called for a closed session on the Senate floor, which they used to force the creation of a bipartisan committee; the committee will report on the ongoing Congressional investigation (which the Democratic leadership believes is being purposefully delayed) into the Bush Administration's misuse of intelligence to justify the war in Iraq.

		The party won over a certain amount of white support immediately after the end of apartheid, but apart from that, its support base remains solidly among the Zulu ethnic group - although many members of this group are ardent ANC supporters.
		The main distinction is the importance placed on halting "moral decay": the ACDP opposes abortion, pornography and the legal recognition of gay and lesbian relationships, in contrast to the more liberal stance on these issues taken by the government since the end of apartheid.
		Ms De Lille herself is the party's strongest draw card, but the strength of her own personality and image means that she could have a battle convincing the public that the ID is more than a one-woman show.

		JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A South African lesbian couple who wanted to wed won the case for same-sex marriage in their nation's highest court Thursday, clearing the way for the country to become the first to legalize same-sex unions on a continent where politicians, church leaders and traditional figures often harshly condemn homosexuality.
		South African activists have used the charter to consolidate gay rights, in stark contrast with the bulk of African countries, where homosexuality is still illegal and gays are often ostracized or brutally attacked.
		The South African Council of Churches, an umbrella group whose member churches claim 26 million followers, said the ruling provoked such diverse reactions that a unified position was unlikely.

	Choike - South African MP calls for rejection of Monsanto's GM wheat
		A South African Member of Parliament has tabled a motion to stop the government from approving an application by Monsanto to import GM wheat for human consumption and processing into animal feed.
		MP Kent Durr, member of the African Christian Democratic Party in the motion dated 11 February states that South Africa is being asked to take an environmental and food safety leap no other country has yet taken.
		Monsanto clearly wishes to enter the lucrative African wheat market (20 million tons per annum) before the Biosafety Protocol is implemented, which would exempt GE wheat from crucial biosafety oversight in terms of the Biosafety Protocol, including the Precautionary Principle, which will allow South Africa to refuse the import in the face of scientific uncertainty.

		This leaves only the New National Party (NNP), the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP), which may be considered.
		It appears that the DA has a very fanatical ‘gun-free' clique inside and it is also of grave concern that the initial request for gun-free zones in the City of Cape Town, came from a DA Councillor.
		There might well be others in the approximately 140 registered political parties which may support law abiding citizens owning and using firearms, the Freedom Front and the Christian Democratic Party come to mind as serious options in this regard.

	South African Party Advocates Drug for HIV-Mothers
		Cape Town, South Africa - The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) has described as "cruel and unacceptable" a decision by South Africa's health department to withhold Nevirapin from HIV-mothers.
		The ACDP was reacting to explanations Wednesday in Parliament by Dr Helen Rees of the Medicines Council, that the anti-AIDS drug was being withheld because babies may be re- infected in the future or die of common childhood illnesses such as diarrhoea.
		Countering the postulation that a child may develop resistance to Nevirapin, ACDP spokesperson Liza Lambert argued that "the child is likely to be dead if it does not receive Nevirapin and future resistance would be a non-issue," adding that HIV-mothers should at least be given an option.
