We have agreed to embark on a self-conscious effort against racism that empowers all our citizens to actualise a humanist vision. This National Conference on Racism has not swept anything under the carpet. We have not carped for a solution from elsewhere. We have not submitted to a false feel-good sentiment. We should all support the recommendation that an anti-racist movement be formed.
Government takes seriously the call for a racism barometer and a racism audit.
Through the initiatives of civil society in partnership with government, we shall indeed go a long way in eradicating racism. This is what has made this conference a resounding success. This is what makes us proud to be South African. This is what reinforces our hope in the future. I thank you.
