These observations were made by deputy secretary-general of the UN Amina Mohammed, who presented the 12th annual Desmond Tutu International Peace Lecture in Cape Town on Friday. She said social cohesion is fraying, with inequalities increasing and xenophobia, nationalism, hate speech and radicalisation on the rise.“First we must begin with ourselves, believing in our humanity, giving the best of ourselves so that we reap the very best of each other.
“Instead of being the great equaliser, education is fast becoming a great divider, separating poor children from opportunities, almost from birth.”
