As civil society organisations working on human rights for all people living in South Africa we have all been distressed by the recent spate of xenophobic violence.  We are, however, proud of the response by the many individuals and ordinary citizens in the affected communities who have shown their opposition to the violence and their commitment to a human rights culture by taking swift action to support people affected by xenophobia.  
 
By hosting this event, Sonke intends to both honour those who played a role in addressing the violence and also foster interaction and dialogue between all people living in Khayelitsha.  Teams comprising both South Africans and foreign nationals will play in this inaugural event and in so doing strengthen friendships, connections and common bonds.
 
We invite you to attend this event, to be held at Manyanani Peace Park, Section A, Khayelitsha on 5 July 2008 from 10:00 to 15:00.
