On Sunday, the world commemorated the International Day of Tolerance. November 16 is a day set aside by the United Nations to promote social cohesion for peaceful coexistence around the world annually.

So, is South Africa doing enough to promote the discourse of human rights, cultural diversity, social and religious tolerance?

The question on the Forum@8 this morning is: How can intolerance be countered?

Our guests are Professor Melissa Steyn, the National Research Chair on Critical Diversity Studies and Director of the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies and Roshan Dadoo, an Advocacy Officer for the Consortium for Refugees and Migrants in South Africa.
