New from the Thabo Mbeki Foundation: The United States of America and the Future of the Afrikaners in South Africa.
How did a country that gave freed slaves forty acres and a mule come to demand that South Africa abandon redress?

“The Thabo Mbeki Foundation’s “We the People” exhibition traces the African roots of South Africa’s Constitution, challenging perceptions that the country’s founding document is primarily a product of Western influence.”

We have retreated into our corners, it is time to return to the centre, using our shared humanity to shape the future we want.
The future begins with recognising what unites us.
#WeThePeople
What does it mean to be human?
At the heart of our Constitution lies the principle of human dignity, alongside the fundamental values of equality and freedom.

A tribute to OR Tambo, the father of our Nation!
He would have turned 109 years old yesterday, 27 October 2026.
Oliver Tambo passed away on 24 April 1993, aged 75.

On 27 Oct 1917 Oliver Reginald Tambo was born.
The boy from Nkantolo became a teacher, a lawyer, and the leader who held the liberation movement together through three decades in exile, steady, principled and unbending, until South Africa was free.
His vision was never only about ending something. It was about building something:
“Our liberation is our responsibility.” - O.R. Tambo, Mazimbu, Tanzania, 1984
O.R. gave his life so that South Africans could inherit a future. Our work is to make sure that future reaches everyone.
Join us today in remembering O.R. on what would have been his 109th birthday.
