The Free State provincial consultation of the National Action Plan (NAP) to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerances is taking place this Saturday in Bloemfontein.
The consultation that is being hosted by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development together with various partners, aims to provide South Africa with a comprehensive policy framework at both private and public level.
The department’s Daneline Franzman believe it’s extremely important to hold such consultations, which seek to mobilise and call upon all citizens to constructively contribute towards the finalization of the NAP.
“The purpose of why we are here, is to get input and discussions on the draft National Action Plan to combat racism, racial discrimination as well as xenophobia relating intolerance which requires an input and engagement of all sectors of society. Although the document is currently in its draft form and has been developed with participation and input from different sectors, its finalisation also requires the commitment of different sectors, in terms of their roles,” she explains.
The Free State provincial consultation forms part of various engagements on the draft NAP hosting countrywide.
