SOCIAL COHESION COMMUNITY DIALOGUE ON ACTIVE CITIZENRY, HEALING, NATION BUILDING AND RECONCILIATION

The National Department of Sport, Arts and Culture in collaboration with the Limpopo Provincial Department of Sport, Arts and Culture hosted a Social Cohesion Community Dialogue on the 15 December 2023 on Active Citizenry, Healing, Nation Building and Reconciliation. The purpose of the dialogue was to discuss the role of society in promoting healing, reconciliation, and tolerance. 

This platform provided the community of Thulamela with the opportunity to highlight the challenges that are negatively impacting on the fostering of social cohesion and social justice. All community members of Thulamela, especially the youth, were invited to participate as active and responsible citizens. Most importantly, this dialogue will serve as a build-up activity towards the national reconciliation day commemoration scheduled for the 16th of December at the Thohoyandou Stadium, in Vhembe.

The panelists included CEO Jane Mufamadi, and the audience robustly engaged on various ways in each individual community member can actively contribute towards the strengthening of unity and social cohesion in a healing nation.
