With Regard to the Underlined Topic [1995] ZAConAsmRes 375 (30 January 1995)

 




30 January 1995


With regard to the underlined topic I would like to ask the Assembly to change the words which presently appear in the introduction to the Constitution, namely our responsibility before the Almighty God. I am convinced and I reckon that most citizens (Black, Brown and White) are going to support this change in the introduction of our Constitution. Even though there are political differences between Black, Brown and White there is one matter on which most citizens agree namely our godly convictions and this is a binding factor which has united all of us over the years. We would like to see that when the Constitution has been completed, it also reflects the religious convictions of the people of the country. I would go as far as to say that this statement could be subjected to an opinion poll. We would like to have these words included in the Constitution, namely: Our responsibility before the Almighty Triune God. South Africa has always stood for Christian values and norms.



I trust that these inputs will lead to the will of the Christians of the whole country.
