IRR webinar: Race and race relations in South Africa today

The Institute of Race Relations will release the third and final report on its latest polling findings in a webinar on Wednesday. Titled Race and Race Relations in South Africa as of 2025, the report explores public sentiment on race relations across society.

The findings, drawn from a demographically representative national survey conducted between 27 March and 3 April 2025, offer insights into how South Africans define their values, expectations and priorities.

In Wednesday’s webinar, hosted by IRR Strategic Engagements Manager Makone Maja, author of the report and IRR Head of Strategic Communications Hermann Pretorius will present the findings and answer questions.

The IRR invites members of the public, the media, and policymakers to attend this discussion on the pressing question of what South Africans really think about race and its role in shaping the future.
