CONGREGANTS of Pietermaritzburg's NCF church and family of ANC president Jacob Zuma packed the church yesterday to listen to a "Willing to die for Zuma" sermon.
Zuma was due to attend the sermon, but cancelled because of other commitments.
The sermon focused on the "willingness of Jesus Christ to die for everyone".
Pastor Grant Crawford told the congregants: "Although the church does not have any political affiliations and neither does it make political statements, we were intrigued by the interest of the ANC in the matter, as it is rare that anybody would be prepared to die for a righteous man."
ANC Youth League president Julius Malema recently stated that the youth are prepared to die and kill for Zuma.
This is the church that I attend. I was shocked to read this when I got into work this morning.
For those of you that don't know who Jacob Zuma is, I will give you a bit of background.
At the end of apartheid, whites fared for their lives. We where afraid that the new black government would sanction revenge killings and violence. But as you all know, Mandela was a forgiving and great man, and even though we do suffer under forms of economic apartheid, life has not been that bad for us whites.
But here come Jacob Zuma. Charged with rape, tax evasion, and corruption. Even though he has this long rap list, he will be the next president of this country. The ruling powers have expressed that even if he is in jail they will still make him president. The ANC youth league and the South African Communist party have said that they will take up arms for Zuma, and even die for him. The ANC chrif executive has asked the courts to drop the case, because if if is tried, the country will be torn apart.
He is a Marxist, an extremist, and a fool. He has not even done a high school education. He is also anti-white, and this is why we are all getting very scared in this country.
But NCF, in their abundant wisdom, have obviously decided that come April 2009 (elections) they would rather be on the side of the beast, so they can continue operating as a religious institution after communism has taken over this country. Would not want to loose all those tithes now would they? Is it because they are as corrupt as the man they choose to host.
