The party is proposing the return of the death penalty for murder and abortion, and wishes to overturn the legalisation of same-sex marriage in South Africa, describing marriage as an institution uniting "one man and one woman".[1]

Baloyi believes that with supernatural aid African Covenant will be the ruling party after the 2019 general election.[2]

gollark: Also, I'm *pretty* sure you can't just try and stick a bigger/higher antenna onto a phone and have it *work*, anyway.

gollark: You can't just make an antenna bigger and expect it to work better, since that affects the frequencies of radio waves/microwaves it works best with.

gollark: Increasing the power to a radio makes it easier to receive, which can create all kinds of problems, so there are *regulations* about this.

gollark: Clearly not.
