Pretoria - It was launched on Monday by Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development John Jeffery at the St George Hotel in Irene during an event attended by civil society organisations and government officials.
Jeffery said Cabinet’s approval of the document followed a rigorous process overseen by a steering committee comprising stakeholders, including government departments and broader civil society organisations.
The government would also use the plan to raise awareness of anti-racism, equality and anti-discrimination issues among public officials, civil society and the public, Jeffery added.Jeffery described Kathrada as a man dedicated to the struggle for freedom, human rights and non-racialism.Chairperson Bongani Majola, who was also in attendance, said it should have been launched in 2001 after the Third World Conference in Durban.
“The fight against racism in South Africa has not gone well because there have been no measures taken as to how to go about fighting it. "The plan says what should be done, what’s next and by when, and we think that for us it is going to help us to monitor what the government and country is doing and to report on that,” Majola said.“In 2015 and 2016, we had about 557 complaints over discrimination, around 505 were racially based.
Fuck, that's just AWEsome 🙄 Maybe they can now 'apply their minds' to a plan to keep the lights on, keep the trains going, increase employment, decrease crime and improve education... for starters 🤔
SonjaPHD But no plan to raise the quality of education
Yea but no fucken plan to stop corruption. Fix first the corruption than racism,racial,diiscrination,xenophobia and ethnic intolerance will dissapear by it self.
See that it works both ways .
What. Affirmative action not racist enough?
It must be a useless plan whatever it is. A useful plan is one in which citizens are consulted for input like was done for LEWC. Majola can't be speaking on behalf of all South Africans, he never consulted us, he's speaking for himself & HRC. What about citizens?
Ok. So what is the plan?
Good, now get rid of the racist BEE while you are at it.
