By Ahmed Kathrada I am writing this as an interested individual and also as one who happened to have been among the beneficiaries of former President de Klerk’s decisions. I do not hold a position in any public organisation and remain a rank-and-file member of my ANC branch. Much has been said and written about…
It is a great honour for me to be invited to speak at the 2015 Ahmed Kathrada Annual Lecture.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation welcomes the Racism Stops With Me campaign by the Independent Media and its partners.
Statement by Neeshan Balton, Director of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation:
“The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation strongly condemns the racist comments and views that infer that black people are like barbarians and should not be allowed onto public beaches.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation has noted the allegations of racism at Willowmead Secondary School in Lenasia South.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation (AKF) will on Saturday, April 23 launch its 4th annual Youth Leadership Programme.
The initiative was announced by Gauteng Premier David Makhura in Sharpeville on Human Rights Day. March 21 was also marked as a national day against racism, and is observed globally as the International Day against Racial Discrimination.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation extends its congratulations to Andrew Mlangeni and George Bizos on receiving the Freedom of the City of Johannesburg.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation supports calls being made to the Judicial Service Commission to investigate Mabel Jansen and review her fitness to hold judicial office.
Over the last few weeks, South Africans have once again expressed their outrage at several cases of very overt racism. In three of these incidents, the k-word was allegedly used.
