AAAM Secretary General, Bishop Meshack Tebe said, “It is time that the church stands up and demands to have a voice in the redirection of the country.
We need a government that will listen to the church and that has the heart of the church, because any government that undermines the religion that exists in is subject to doom.”
Wailing on the current state of the country, some religious formations formed an intentional movement to urge their communities to place an X on the newly formed MK political party on the upcoming national elections.
After publicly announcing his intention to campaign and vote for the newly formed MK party, Zuma applauded the Kings, Bishops and Pastors for rising up for the people during his speech he delivered.

According to Zuma, when they received this democracy 1994, they knew that they were starting South Africa from scratch and will indeed free this nation, but poverty is still a leading factor in the black society.
“One thing I applaud to our Kings, Bishops and Pastors is that at last they are proclaiming the unity of the black nation. We will not drive out any Whites or Indians, however, we will not allow a situation where we have a group of people destined to constantly live in poverty yet they are the majority that vote,” said Zuma.
Drawing to his conclusion, Zuma raised his concerns and questioned the need to vote in secrecy in South Africa, claiming that some votes might be tempered with.
“What is this thing of the vote being a secret that no one knows? Then it is counted elsewhere. Why aren’t the votes of the people counted in the full view of the public? Maybe we need to change the way we vote,” he said.
Zuma is still a member on the ANC and hopes that this newly formed party will secure a two-third majority to save the ANC.
