Abstract

The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to build reconciliation, democracy and human rights, and to prevent violence in South Africa and in other African countries. The presentation outlines research undertaken in Kagiso and finds that the Community Work Programme (CWP) was undertaken too quickly. It includes background information, images, benefits of CWP and programme challenges. Crime and drug abuse remain key concerns in the community. There is a need for communication to improve understanding about, cooperation with, and respect for the CWP.
