Mrm Unclaimed

The Moral Regeneration Movement {MRM} is a networking platform mandated to facilitate, coordinate all processes and initiatives aimed at combating moral degeneration Working with and through local structures in communities, the MRM seeks to promote local action and commitment from within the various communities of the country at their levels of existence and operation Given the diversity of religious belief systems in our communities and the propensity of formal religion to proselytise, the power of religion as an agent of moral renewal is weakened

The origins of the Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM) date back to a meeting in June 1997 between then-President Nelson Mandela and key South African Faith Based Organisation leaders, the then Deputy Minister of Education Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa and the SABC, to discuss spiritual transformation. At that meeting, President Mandela spoke about the role of religion in nation-building and social transformation, and the need for religious institutions to work with the state to overcome the ‘spiritual malaise’ underpinning the crime problem.
