Civil society groups across the country are fighting xenophobia and violence - one signature at a time.
The groups have launched a campaign to collect one million signed pledges against xenophobia, intolerance, intimidation and violence in South Africa.
This follows a number of xenophobic attacks and violent outbursts across the country that occurred shortly after the World Cup ended, with many informal mixed-nationality communities under pressure due to poor service delivery and joblessness.

Unrealized hopes of our democracy
Submitted by mpho putu on 17 March 2010 - 9:42pmSouth Africa celebrated 16th years of democracy this year.

The feelings of optimism about the promise of democracy and a new system are prevalent throughout the country but there are also deep concerns and problems. An unemployment rate of 40%, HIV/AIDS, high infant mortality rate, low life expectancy, and high levels of criminal activity continue to plague the country.
