Community dialogue sparks social cohesion

Social cohesion firmly on the agenda

ANTI-racism was one of the key topics on the ‘Nation Building and Social Cohesion Community Conversation’ programme hosted by the Department of Arts & Culture (DAC) on Tuesday morning.

The well attended workshop, part of a national roadshow, held at the City of uMhlathuze council chambers saw groups share ideas and debate viewpoints on a number of important topics.

These included the roles of race, language, gender, the economy, family values and crime and violence.
