Uthombo Wesizwe-Ruth Friedmann

Today on Backchat we were joined on the line by Ruth Friedmann from Uthombo Wesizwe. Psychologists and criminologists have reported compelling evidence to show that South African youth has not been equipped by society to function effectively in a post Mandela Rainbow Nation. Umthombo Wesizwe has been formed in reaction to this need - it comprises a volunteer group of researchers, psychologists and professionals that has teamed up to provide an antidote to prejudice, violence and xenophobia among South African children.
