SPORT, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie drew on lessons from former president Nelson Mandela at the 4th G20 Culture Working Group (CWG) Ministerial Session in Zimbabwe yesterday.

This platform will consolidate outcomes and recommendations, will build on prior engagements and further advance discussions on four key priorities.

These are safeguarding and restitution of cultural heritage to protect human rights; integrating cultural policies into socioeconomic strategies for inclusive, rights-based development; harnessing digital technologies for the protection and promotion of culture and sustainable economies; and exploring the intersection of culture and climate change in shaping global responses.

McKenzie said when Nelson Mandela was released in 1990, he said: “Peace is our only path. Holding hands is our only path.”

“Time showed that nothing trumps peace. No matter how difficult, we must always search for peace,’ McKenzie said.

He said the delegates had to find solutions that would ultimately lead to peace.
