However, poverty, unemployment, inequality, violence, crime and corruption, and sub-standard education and healthcare, continue to undermine our progress and credibility on the world stage. Our policies aim to address these challenges, restore integrity and investor confidence, and protect and strengthen families. We are committed to seeing a genuine transformation and renewal in our country that is modelled on value-based norms such as integrity, justice, honesty and respect. Without these values, we will not see the restoration of the moral compass of our nation.<\/p>\n<p>Jobs<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>To boost employment, reduce poverty and achieve annual economic growth of 7%.<\/p>\n<p>The ACDP will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure that the state provides the enabling environment for business to grow the economy faster and create more jobs by providing the necessary infrastructure, a professional public service and good education and vocational training to ensure the necessary skills base needed for a growing economy<\/li>\n<li>Raise global competitiveness and foreign earnings by focusing on South Africa\u2019s comparative advantages, such as mining, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, tertiary education, tourism and business services<\/li>\n<li>Increase public sector investment in infrastructure to provide sufficient power generation, ports, roads, public transportation and dams and reservoirs<\/li>\n<li>Review the Gauteng e-tolling system and consider alternative funding models such as the fuel levy, to finance road construction and maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Encourage domestic and foreign investment through policy certainty an building confidence in the country\u2019s growth potential<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='dd560513ce9a8f22602978b85cb8d921'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The African Christian Democratic Party brings to South Africa hope for a strong, healthy prosperous and purpose-driven nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":58961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3342],"tags":[3347,3266],"class_list":["post-58704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-political-parties-2014","tag-acdp","tag-elections-2014"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"Political Parties 2014"},"tag_labels":["ACDP","elections 2014"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
