Yet today we see ever-increasing levels of corruption and mismanagement at the municipal level and poor, inefficient service delivery to our communities. The protracted Covid-19 lockdown has also severely constrained some of our personal freedoms and left businesses – especially small businesses – under extraordinary pressure to survive.

Many South Africans have lost their jobs as a result and have joined the ranks of those already struggling and living well below the poverty line. In addition, many South Africans say they feel unsafe and are afraid of becoming the target of opportunistic criminals who do not fear the law. Women, children, and the elderly remain especially vulnerable, as do our farmers and their workers.

Now is the time to elect leaders of integrity who have your best interests at heart; leaders committed to rooting out corruption and dishonesty at all levels of government, keeping your community safe, bolstering the economy, and upholding your rights and freedoms. By electing ACDP councillors to your local municipality, you are entrusting honest, caring and decisive leaders to efficiently and effectively deliver services that are above all, affordable.

As a party with a strong Biblical foundation, the ACDP seeks to honour God and put you and your needs at the centre of our policies. We are determined to address critical issues without fear or favour and are here to serve you and help you fully realise the South Africa you deserve; a South Africa ripe with opportunities in which you and your family can flourish and grow.
