GODLESS CONSTITUTION | CAPE TOWN

GODLESS CONSTITUTION | CAPE TOWN


South Africa is probably recognised as the country with the most progressive constitution in the world. Sadly I have to confirm this as true. The leader of South Africa's African National Congress, (ANC) Mr Jacob Zuma, has just been officially elected the country's 3rd president by members of parliament since the demise of "apartheid" as we know it.

 That's when benches in the parks were reserved for whites (like the benches in front of building on the left, enlargements below) and beaches were reserved for whites and buses where reserved for whites, and pavements were reserved for whites, and higher education was reserved for whites, etc, etc, etc...

 Mr Zuma succeeds ex president Thabo Mbeki who succeeded our first president since the demise of apartheid, ex president Nelson Mandela- (Madiba). Our national election look some 72 hours to complete and if this time is compared with the results of the Zimbabwe's elections which took some three months or perhaps longer (I stand under correction) one can see the gusto with which the South Africans proceed. The ANC once again, have another five year stint of power, but not in Cape Town or at least the Western Cape. This just reminds me of the old saying, Power corrupts but Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely.

 Many may not agree, but our constitution gives too great a liberty against the moral standards of the Bibles both Old and New, Al-Qur'an and the Bagvad Gita. I supposed against all the moral standards of all religions. The most vile in my opinion is abortion, some people call it a form of contraception, some freedom of choice, some call it down right murder all of which vehemently tugs at the moral fibre of our society.

 The state of California in the Americas were the first to legalise gay marriages and S.A. soon followed suite, but California has now rescinded its decision and some 80 000 gays are up in arms about it. I cannot image what would happen here, if the plug was also pulled on gay-rights. Jimmy Swagart once said that "God should judge America for their perversity, because it He does not, He would have to apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah for what He has done to them".

 Just a week ago the news papers were filled with issues pertaining to legalising prostitution and the distribution of free ARV's and condoms. Not a week goes by without an incident of teachers and learners committing adultery. Just prior to Christmas the prison system released some 20 000 inmates, only to arrest them all for committing crimes against the populous. Murder seems to be at the top of the list. These are just some of the issues of South Africa. Inherently our progressive Constitution protects the rights of the 'ungodly' at the expense and safety of the 'Godly'.

 But hey, Cape Town is different from the rest of Southern Africa. The people are more laid back, they take time out to eat-out. There are restaurants abound, with arts and craft markets teaming with people. Late night shopping and flower sellers vending their wares until late as well. We have the Waterfront and Canal Walk shopping malls, the International Convention Centre, the Royal Cape yacht basin and of course Table Mountain the Eighth wonder of the World, Robben Island and so much, much more!
