Constituted as a non-profit entity, The 70s<\/em> comprises activists from across the political spectrum, of which Presidents Ramaphosa and Motlanthe were a part. The 70s<\/em> is Anti-Sectarian<\/strong>, Anti-Racist<\/strong> and Anti-Sexist<\/strong>. Comprising that generation of activists of the late 1960s and 1970s when apartheid was at its height, The 70s<\/em> is committed to the quest for excellence in our country and enhancing social cohesion. The 70s<\/em> offers the depth and breadth of its skills and experiential base to deepen the democratic project, building necessary bridges in a sea of tumultuous contestation, divisive rhetoric and intolerance, thus restoring our common humanity in building our nation.<\/p>\n

The 70s<\/em> will build on the strengths and successes of the 70s generation of activists in our country to, inter alia<\/em>, engage with government, other state and public institutions, private and non-governmental sector entities and communities to enhance their efficacy in dealing with our citizens.<\/p>\n
