Objectives of the Foundation
In pursuing its core objective of deepening non-racialism, the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation will:
- Promote the values, rights and principles enshrined in the Freedom Charter and the Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa;
- Collect, record, promote and display, through historical artefacts and contemporary material, Kathrada's
role in South Africa's liberation struggle and its relation to the role of other individuals, groups and
movements both nationally and internationally;
- Establish a research and documentation centre that will provide selective historical and contemporary
documentation and archival material on liberation history in South Africa, and to make this available for
academic and scholarly research;
- Organise seminars, lectures, debates and discussions and undertake research on issues which promote a
non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa;
- Identify and support projects and programmes that will deepen non-racialism and create an equitable
society;
- Build and maintain a centre that will carry out all of the activities and programmes of the Foundation.
