Cape Town is heading into a fiercely contested political battle, and ACDP mayoral candidate Ferlon Christians is making his case.
From violent crime and failing communities to the DA, ANC, cadre deployment, policing, Christian values and the death penalty, Christians lays out where he believes Cape Town is going wrong and what his party would do differently.
In this wide-ranging Truth Report conversation, Christians discusses the ACDP’s Christian identity, its disagreements with other parties, Cape Town’s escalating cost of living, gang violence, school dropouts, unemployment and his proposal to give policing powers greater local control.
He also tackles some of the most controversial issues in South African politics: LGBT activism, merit-based appointments, race-based politics, the death penalty and whether the DA needs a stronger conservative counterweight in Cape Town.
This is an unfiltered look at the political platform and arguments being put forward by Christians ahead of the local government elections.
