Mapungubwe Insitute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) Ethics Book Launch – 28 February 2018

In September 2016 MISTRA hosted a conference on the topic ‘Seeking the Ethical Foundations of South Africa’, with key speakers including, Sipho Pityana, Justice Yvonne Mokgoro, Dr.  Iraj Abedian, Nompumelelo Runji, Prof Charles Simkins, Prof Edward Webster, Bishop Malusi Mpumlwana and many more. The conference sought to ask the difficult questions about the ethical fibre of post-apartheid South Africa. MISTRA subsequently published a book that brings together the inputs at that conference as well as some additional papers.

We are now pleased to invite you to the launch of the book which is due to be launched on the 28 February 2018 at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.

MISTRA is keen to continue the conversations started, revisiting challenges and unearthing solutions that will place South Africa on a much-improved ethical trajectory, willing and able to deliver the promises cherished at the birth of our new dispensation.

The launch will provide a platform for the researchers to present summaries of their papers.

VENUE: Gallagher Convention Centre, Lotus 2 Hall, 19 Richards Dr, Halfway House, Midrand
DATE: Wednesday, 28 February 2018
