Zeroing in on the acts of the ANC's own government, the alliance secretariat said its campaign wanted to take a stand against acts of brutality meted out by the police and security forces.

This will also be used to take a stand against the country’s own security forces which have allegedly been responsible for the deaths of citizens during the national lockdown. “Racism in South Africa is alive, it’s something we need to campaign against and internalise in the psyche of our nation. It is something we are struggling with,” said Duarte.
The alliance partners also expressed their disapproval of attacks levelled against Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who was recently depicted as an ape on social media. “It means that despite our quest for a non-racial society, we need to do a great deal of work to liberate the minds of people who have not yet understood they live in a country that is a non-racial society and it is never going to change,” she added.
