Join Archbishop
Emeritus Desmond Tutu - sign the APD Pledge & help Heal Our
Rainbow Nation
The Healing Our Rainbow Nation Campaign affords
every South African the opportunity to publicly
declare their opposition to any form of prejudice and discrimination.
With the turbulence our country is currently
experiencing – economic, social and political – this
campaign comes at the perfect time. We need to unite as
a nation to once again experience the joy and elation of
1994 when we first became a democracy. It is time to turn the country
back to what was felt when Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu first
referred to South Africa as the Rainbow Nation.

Hey
Guys!
Look at how we
are helping our
Rainbow Nation
 |

“I proudly put my name to this pledge that unites against
prejudice and discrimination. I challenge every South African to
do the same. Each of us is a unique creation of God. Each of us
has a special purpose from God. Those of you who despise and harm
others because of their differences work against God. They do not
represent me. They should not represent you. We must unite in trust
and love and heal our Rainbow Nation.”
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
The campaign is being organized by the Association for the Physically
Disabled (APD) – Greater Johannesburg – who for more
than 70 years, has been dealing with the discrimination that people
with disabilities experience and by Barrier Breakers, a division
of the APD, which focuses on breaking down barriers between people
with disabilities and able-bodied South Africans. |
