SANCO encourages South Africans to continue to break down racial barriers
22 March 2018
Johannesburg – The SA National Civic Organisation (SANCO) has encouraged South Africans to rededicate themselves to eradicate the legacy of colonialism and restore the dignity of those who were denied human rights during apartheid.
SANCO’s spokesperson Jabu Mahlangu said issues, such as land restitution, racism and the treatment of the poor and vulnerable, need to be addressed.
"Land restitution without compensation represents an opportunity that must not be squandered to empower those, who were dispossessed, marginalised and impoverished, as part of redress of past atrocities, which include gross human rights violations," he said.
Mahlangu added that South Africans should continue to work towards unity, reconciliation and nation-building.
