President Jacob Zuma will on Friday, 21 November 2014, address the Global Watch Summit on Racism, which aims to eliminate racial intolerance and all other forms of discrimination in sports, at the Emperors Palace in Kempton Park.
The summit will bring together all relevant sporting stakeholders from across the globe and is envisaged to develop a roadmap based on a basic set of principles to address racism and discrimination in sport. This roadmap will be a draft Global Charter to be finalised after the convening of National Summits.
This initiative arises directly from the "Say No to Racism” in Football campaign launched by international football governing body, FIFA during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Berlin, Germany and it also stems from FIFA's establishment in 2013 of the Anti-Racism Global Task Force.
