Newsletter No4/2023 - "We do not only want to merely exist… We want to flourish”
Editorial by Dr Carike Noeth, Southern Africa Centre (Cape Town) Manager
On 1 May 2023, Globethics launched its new centre in Southern Africa, and while we embrace, celebrate, and commemorate peace, sustainable development, and cultural diversity and development, we are also very aware of the fact that Southern Africa is not contributing and practically living these sustainable outcomes as set out by the United Nations. We have fallen short of these values and have been corrupted in our way of living. As the Southern Africa Centre, we will therefore work tirelessly to build just, caring, and sustainable moral communities in everything we do.
People in Africa are people who know hardship, but we also know hope. It is this very hope that will inspire the Southern Africa Centre to shine its light as far as it can reach to bring about change in civil society. We do not want to merely exist in a society crippled with moral decay. We want to flourish!
