The arena was packed with people wearing blue and white shirts and chanting ‘Asina valo, sisebenza kanzima’ (We are not afraid, we work hard).
“There is only one God and only one race, the human race,” says chief apostle professor Caesar Nongunga.
The professor is the president of the South African Council of Messianic Churches in Christ (SACMCC).

He says the ATM was formed to transform South Africans into a better society that upholds and lives by the values of peace, Ubuntu and good governance.
Established in 2018 by the SACMCC, it has now been formally registered by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
“This council is a faith-based non-governmental and non-tribal body, which represents the embassy of messianic churches as defined by Jesus Christ, in transforming and liberating the life of man on earth.”
SACMCC is a congregation of African Independent Churches (AIC) and they believe the majority of its members are not represented in the governance of the country.

“We are negatively affected by lack of service delivery and for that reason are still lingering in abject poverty.
“The non-representation of this section of society in the governance of the country manifests itself more on socio-economic matters, which include religious affairs in the country,” he adds.
This and other matters of governance, like lack of social cohesion and tolerance, provoked the need to form a political party that will serve the most marginalised people of South Africa and the greater good of South Africa.
“It is for this reason that our prime focus is to transform society for a better tomorrow.”
