Background of the CP

The party was founded in September 2005 by Louis Marneweck and was registered in October 2005 with the Independent Electoral Commission as a political party. The party is registered as a National party in terms of the electoral legislation which qualifies it to participate in all elections for the National Assembly, all Provincial Parliaments and all municipalities. The party is currently represented in the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature. Our National Office is situated in Standerton with a parliamentary office in the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature and a Constituency Office in Standerton.

The logo of the Christian Party contains the fish symbol which the first Christians used to identify themselves to other Christians and the world. As the Christian Party, we don’t align ourselves with any secular political ideology (democratic, conservative, liberal or African) whatsoever because all glory must go to Jesus Christ our Saviour. Soli Deo Gloria!

We believe that when we follow the teachings and example of Christ and implement it in our daily life and government, we won’t need any other ideology. In other words, we are followers and disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. We don’t want to be known by any name other than "Christian."

Acts 11:22b "And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians."

  1. Great, but we are in this world and we need to go on doing our "thing" while we are here. Part of that thing is to try and bring people to Christ, not trying to seperate us from other Christians. E-Talker.
