The Movement for Good is a network of organisations that have come
together to inspire and mobilise South Africans to become active
citizens for good. Their vision is to build a country that lives its
constitutional values, is safe, and has opportunity for all - so that our children have hope in our future.
They aim to integrate organisations that are currently mobilising South Africans
so that there is coherency and synergy across the various campaigns.
All across South Africa, people have been independently
organising and building communities
that care. The Movement encourages every person to become an active citizen, to
take action, any action, to make South Africa the country we all want
to live in.
What is an active citizen?
An active citizen...
- Speaks positively about South Africa
- Upholds our constitution and the laws of the land
- Takes part in our democracy
- Does not bribe or buy stolen goods
- Participates in community projects
- Is sensitive to the needs of the less fortunate
- Respects the environment
- Believes that they can make a difference
- Lives by the notion – ‘I am because we are’
...and so much more!
