'We need to be ambassadors of anti-racism to the world. Our generation needs to be different in every way,' said the minister.
Justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola says South Africans 'cannot replicate the indiscrimination of the past in any way'. File photo.This year marks 25 years since the birth of the constitution, and justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola has called on South Africans to be ambassadors for antiracism.
Our generation needs to be different in every way. We cannot replicate the indiscrimination of the past in any way. We have inherited a dysfunctional society but this constitution is ours to prosecute,” said Lamola. “The inherited psyche of racial, gender and sexual orientation prejudice and stereotypes that lead to a breakdown in values, gender-based violence and femicide, inequality of opportunity and widespread poverty must not be what defines our national identity.”
