Media
Every week we reach hundreds of thousands of people through placing arguments in the media in support of the principles we stand for. No other advocacy group in the country does as much as we do to promote support for policies that defend your right, and that of your community, to make decisions about your own life free from counter-productive government interference.
30 July 2019 - Racialist thinking (and the failing race-based policy it delivers) coupled with an orthodoxy of timidity have had the effect over the past quarter of a century of sustaining division and disadvantage, and narrowing the scope for an honest conversation about the choices that need to be made to create that new, fairer, thriving country. South Africa’s future as an open, prosperous society depends on it.

Prime Minister Johnson, on the other hand, will be vulnerable to adverse votes in the House of Commons. The Commons has always sparingly used its powers to force out a prime minister. Mr Johnson will have to lead his party and manage the Commons with dazzling skill to ensure both a clean Brexit and his own survival.
29 July 2019 - Helen Zille's joining forces with the IRR marks the coming together of two of the greatest influences in the fight for South Africa’s future as a free and prosperous society.
29 July 2019 - The drive towards this policy should dispel any lingering expectations that a reformist agenda focused on growth, investment and development is in the offing.
29 July 2019 - The very wealthy – whom, however indifferent they may sometimes seem, we can’t afford to lose – are mobile and don’t have to play anyone’s tune. But millions of South Africans will cease to play along, too, if, despite the plain words of the president, the government tampers with their assets instead of curbing spending, firing incompetents and introducing policies that will grow the economy.
28 July 2019 - The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) is pleased to announce that Helen Zille, the former Premier of the Western Cape and leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA) between 2007 and 2015, has joined the IRR as a Senior Policy Fellow. The joining of forces between Ms Zille and the IRR brings together two of the loudest reformist voices in the country.
28 July 2019 - Vir die eerste keer in dekades is daar die geleentheid, die nood, die ywer en die samewerkingsverhoudings om Afrikaner-wees te bepaal aan die hand van ‘n gemeenskaplike, gematigde visie – eerder as die euwel van ‘n nasionalistiese verlede.
