Re-Instituting the Death Penalty in South Africa

The dangers of placing this responsibility

in the hands of an inapt government

Stes de Necker

There is currently a serious spiritual war going on between secular humanism and Christianity in South Africa.

Most of the public media, internet, public schools, the state and even some churches, are actively supporting the humanism ideology. The current ‘struggle’ in South Africa is not against flesh and blood, but against this pernicious ideology and false philosophy of the ‘New Age’. 

I also believe that there are too many Christian believers in South Africa currently who are canvassing for the re-institution of the death penalty, without having carefully considered the grave consequences of their wishes.      

The judiciary of the new South Africa is filled by leaps and bounds by racial quotas, which inevitably tends to be more politically loyal and less professionally competent. The same thing happened in the police service.

Furthermore, we live in a country where outspoken hostility toward whites, in general, and Afrikaners in particular, is increasing by the day. 

As far-fetched it may sound, all the problems and failures of the current government are still being blamed on the old and outdated apartheid system 20 years after it was abolished! 

Notwithstanding the moral and religious rejection of the death penalty, which is a separate discussion all together, it is not only undesirable, but seriously dangerous under the current conditions to have the death penalty re-instated in South Africa.

No right minded individual will entrust such a serious sanction and moral responsibility in the hands of a reckless, irresponsible and ungodly government as the current one.  

    

As long as the shameless lust for money, power and greed of this Government continues, we can never entrust them with such a serious responsibility.

Everyone is aware of the South Africans currently in detention on charges of treason.

If the death penalty was available to the judiciary as a possible sanction, imagine what the consequences could have been.
