The conference is aimed at raising awareness on and promoting professional ethics as well as closing the gap between” talking about” and “living” ethical practice.

These include, amongst others,
- Ms Ferial Haffajee (City Press)
- Professor Pierre De Vos (University of Cape Town)
- Mr Hennie van Vuuren (Institute for Security Sstudies)
One of the main focus areas the conference will address will be how to enhance integrity in government departments. The Constitution will also be examined to establish how it can contribute towards building integrity, in terms of balancing “rights and responsibilities”.
Media are invited to cover the event.
