Africa Unite! Party is born...

Ecstasy...is all I can say... I am ecstatic - today I got the news that the party has been approved by the IEC and we are on our way to contest in the next elections providing we can come up with the minimum deposit to do so. This will be the next hurdle. The fact that we have come this far in such a short time is quite incredible and is an amazing testament to the power of faith and prayer and steadfastness.


We can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us.


I was anointed as the president of the new south Africa in exile. We are small but we are strong. We have only prevailed because we have been obedient to the Word of God and to the calling of God to stand up for the victims of violence and crime in South Africa...and for righteous government.


This land is a land which I have struggled for in dark times and in good times.... I stood up against apartheid when it wasn't popular... when the colour of your skin determined your worldview... but I went against the tide because I believed the struggle was about  what was right and true and just for this country. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would start up a political party and movement. But the tide of history has again pricked my conscience. This time in favour of our former oppressors who have themselves become victims of murder and violence and apartheid by the new laws of this land.


As an Englishman growing up in the old south Africa , I experienced terrible bullying whilst at boarding school by racist Afrikaner Boers. It was so bad that I was forced to finish my schooling through correspondence school. I should in fact have no empathy for the predicament of the Afrikaners. But...I do...why? because I am firstly a patriot of this land and a Christian. I fought for what I believed was right by refusing to participate in a racist regime. I was right. Then I left this land again in 1999 as I saw the dream of a rainbow nation was being lost by the very racist laws that led to apartheid in the  first place. Now I see that the only way forward is not to run away...not to go somewhere else and complain or criticise....NO... the only way forward is to dive in...participate in the democratic process as a voice in the wilderness... a voice of truth, justice and righteousness.


And that is our mandate. We will stand up for ALL the weak...and ALL the vulnerable - irrespective of race....or credo. It is our mission to bring about good - accountable government or to at least be a voice that speaks its mind without fear or favour.


If something is wrong we will speak out against it.If something is unjust we will go to court to challenge it. But whatever happens...we will not simply let things be.... we have a longer road to freedom to travel than Mandela walked on...why? because our vision is for the entire continent of AFRICA.....


And that is why we celebrate the birth of the NEWEST political party of the spectrum in our rainbow nation...


I Thank you all for your continuing support and prayers.
