The Communist ‘Freedom Charter’: South Africa’s Real Constitution

The SA Constitution, as stated above, is based on the Communist “Freedom Charter.”  But in recent weeks we have seen that the ANC’s first love, and true love, is for the “Freedom Charter”, above the Constitution.  The Democratic Alliance leader, Tony Leon, was right when he said at a rally in April: “These days you hear very little from our government and the ANC about our Constitution.  You hear far more from them about the Freedom Charter… which the ANC and its allies inaugurated in 1955.  It seems that the more the ANC departs from the spirit and the letter of the Constitution, the more it invokes this outdated manifesto” (The Witness, April 28, 2005).

We have no love for the Constitution.  It is a liberal document that is dangerous to Christians and very bad for the country.  But the point is this: South Africans were under the impression that the Constitution was the supreme law of the land.  But to the ANC this is not so: the “Freedom Charter” is the supreme law of the land, and they will readily alter the Constitution to bring it increasingly into line with the “Freedom Charter” – which is the “constitution” the ANC has followed for half a century.

Anyway, as it turned out, “Freedom Charter” celebrations, at least in Durban, were constantly disrupted by supporters of former deputy president, Jacob Zuma, axed for his corrupt relationship with a convicted businessman.  Zuma’s supporters shouted and booed at every mention of President Mbeki’s name, revealing deep-seated tensions and animosity within the ANC (The Witness, June 27, 2005).  All freedom-loving, conservative, anti-Communist South Africans, and all true Christians, can only rejoice when any cracks appear in the ANC monolith.  There is something very satisfying about seeing this monstrous organisation, which has brought such suffering and bloodshed to our beautiful country, struggling with tensions and disputes and infighting, on the very day in which they were trying to get the entire country to celebrate the creation of their pathetic Marxist document.
