This monograph charts the development of the moral regeneration campaign, and assesses its relevance to the national crime prevention effort in South Africa. The campaign was initiated by former President Mandela in 1997. It has since taken on a variety of forms, and its messages have taken on political, religious and secular, ethical, and nation-building aspects. This monograph will also focus on the crime preventive aspects of the moral regeneration initiative, noting that, although the campaign has been strongly focused on the reduction of criminality, this is not its only content.
