... It is also committed to the reconstruction of the community by advancing a culture of multi-culturalism, non-racialism and open debate.

On February 11, 2004, Nelson Mandela handed the keys to the new homes built for two octogenarian ex-residents whose lives had been adversely affected by forced removals.

... parts of our country are shameful. If we close our eyes, or turn away, we bring shame on ourselves. The attacks present South Africans to the world as a barbaric, violent and murderous nation. We are not. Our march will show another South Africa to ourselves and the world. We are the country of Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo and all people who gave their lives for freedom. In our freedom struggle we had vital help from our sisters, brothers and comrades throughout Africa and the World. In 1994 we voted for peace, not war.
