“Die DA se benadering verhard verskille en vergroot die verdeling,” sê dr. Christo
Landman, hoof- uitvoerende beampte van die PCP en lid van die CDA se federale
raad.
“Die PCP voel duidelik dat almal moet besef dat die huidige bedeling die gevolg van ‘n
skikking was – nie van iemand wat gewen en ‘n ander wat verloor het nie. “As hierdie
beginsel, soos onder meer vervat in die Grondwetlike beginsels, toegepas word , sal
daar nie ‘n voortdurende aanslag van die ‘oorwinnaars’ oor die ‘verloorders’ wees,
soos met naamsveranderinge en volgehoue werksreservering vir swart mense”.
“Die regerende party sal dit moet duidelik maak of hy nog volgens die spelreëls van
die skikking wil speel. Indien nie, sal die PCP die regerende party en staatsorgane
moet wys op die morele gevolge daarvan. Om immoreel op te tree maak dat hulle hul
legitimiteit verloor, onbetroubaar is en dus vyande in die politiek maak.
“Sou die ANC egter by die spelreëls hou, sal die PCP konstruktief deelneem en
krediet gee waar krediet toekom.”

[1] The negotiations began with a meeting between the African National Congress and the South African
government on 4 May 1990. This resulted in the Groote Schuur Minute, a commitment between the two
parties towards the resolution of political violence. The Pretoria Minute of August 1990 included the
suspension of the armed struggle by the ANC and its military wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. The National
Peace Accord of September 1991 was a critical step toward formal negotiations. It was signed by
representatives of twenty-seven political organizations and national and homeland governments. The
Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA) began with a plenary session on in December
1991. The negotiations took place at the World Trade Centre in Kempton Park.Nineteen groups were
represented at CODESA, including the South African government, the National Party, the African
National Congress, the Inkatha Freedom Party, the Democratic Party, the South African Communist
Party, the South African Indian Congress, the Coloured Labour Party, the Indian National People's
Party and Solidarity Party, and the leaders of the independent territories of Transkei, Ciskei,
Bophuthatswana and Venda. In a "whites only" referendum of 1992 over 68% of the voted for
negotiations. On 26 September 1992 the government and the ANC agreed on a Record of
Understanding. Following the Record of Understanding, the two main negotiating parties, the ANC and
the NP, agreed to reach bilateral consensus on issues before taking them to the other parties in the
forum. This put considerable pressure on the other parties to agree with the consensus or be left
behind. In protest at the perceived sidelining of the mainly-Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP),
Mangosuthu Buthelezi took the IFP out of the MPNF and formed the Concerned South Africans Group
(COSAG, later renamed the "Freedom Alliance") together with traditional leaders, homeland leaders
and whited. A period of brinkmanship followed, with the IFP remaining out of the negotiations until
within days of the election on 27 April 1994. Buthelezi was convinced to give up the boycott of the
elections, after Mandela offered the Zulu king, Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, a guarantee of special
status of the Zulu monarchy, and to Buthelezi, the promise that foreign mediators would examine

CDA ontstig oor aborsieplanne doer onder
Terwyl sinvolle wetgewing in Nieu-Suid-Wallis oorweeg word soos om rook terwyl ‘n persoon bestuur, veral as
daar minderjarige passasiers in die motor is, oorweeg ‘n ander Australiese deelstaat, Victoria, ingrypende
wetgewing wat aborsie op aanvraag tot 24 weke swangerskap sal uitbrei.
“Die verskil is dat die Christen Demokratiese Party verteenwoordiging in die Nieu-Suid-Wallis parlement het,”
sê ds. Theunis Botha leier, adjunk-voorsitter Christen-Demokratiese Alliansie en hoof van die
godsdiensafdeling.
“Dit toon onteenseglik dat dit noodsaaklik is dat die Christenstem nie maar ter wille van pragmatiese politiek
opsy geskuif kan word nie.”

CDA concerned on Aussie abortion plans
Whilst sensible bills are being considered in New South Wales such as to ban smoking while driving especially
when there are under aged passengers in the car, another Australian state, Victoria, is considering a bill which
will allow abortions on request up to the 24th week of pregnancy.
“The difference is that the Christian Democratic Party is represented in the New South Wales parliament,”
says Rev. Theunis Botha, Deputy President of the Christian Democratic Alliance and head of the religious desk.
“This indicates clearly how important it is that the Christian voice needs to be heard in politics, and can not
simply be brushed aside on behalf of pragmatic politics.”

In Suid-Afrika word dit nie as ongrondwetlike onbillike diskriminasie beskou as ‘n blinde nie werk as taxi-
bestuurder kan kry nie (hoewel dit soms moeilik is om die verskil agter te kom).
‘n Blinde Belg, Luc Costermans, het egter in Suid-Frankryk dié teorie ‘n knou toegedien deur teen 308
kilometer per uur met sy Lamborgini Galloro te ry. In die proses het hy ‘n blinde Brit, Mike Newman, se
wêreldrekord van ‘n “skamele” 268 kilometer per uur wat in Oktober 2005 opgestel is, verpletter, berig die
Nederlandse koerant, Trouw.
Costermans, wat in 2004 na ‘n ongeluk blind gelaat is, het twee jaar gelede ook met ‘n vliegtuig 1 900
kilometer ver oor Frankryk en België gevlieg.
