How SA will commemorate Reconciliation Day 2020
South Africa will mark National Reconciliation Day on 16 December with a focus on racism and gender-based violence (GBV).
The National Reconciliation Day was adopted at the start of democracy when it was envisioned that reconciliation, peace and stability would be a defining character of the country’s new democratic dispensation.
The 2020 virtual Reconciliation Day will be commemorated under the theme:
“Unite against racism and Gender-Based Violence and other intolerances”.
South Africans are challenged to confront their preconceived ideas about race and racism.
