A Failed Promise: What England Can Learn From South Africa

***An early head's up! Save the Date for our annual Pot Luck Christmas Party. Sunday 14 December 2pm.

For our November meetup we will be welcoming guest speaker, Jaco van Zyl. He is a clinical psychologist, originally from South Africa and currently living in Ireland, working in private practice. He is a co-director of Critical Therapy Antidote (https://criticaltherapyantidote.org/), a UK-based organisation of mental health professionals concerned with the ideological takeover of the therapy field.

He will be discussing lessons we here in the UK can learn from the situation in South Africa (and now also Ireland). What was promised after Aphartheid was that all folks would come together in harmony. What kept that dream from being realised? Is multi-culturalism a pipe dream? Is South Africa a lost cause?

Some of the issues involved: Can anyone really rely on the belief that people are inherently good while simultaneously despising and upending the West and its culture, dismanlting its institutions, pulling down statues, demonizing its heroes, criminalizing its legacy. This should be a fascinating and enlightening talk and discussion.

Join CCC Manchester for stimulating and fresh conversation and debate. We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch, and many folks even choose to stay well past 4pm to continue the discussion! Grab a drink at the bar and come upstairs for some lively, open and honest chat. All good faith opinions are welcomed and respected. We don't charge for our events but we do ask for a small cash donation to help pay for expenses.
