A profile and history of SGI South Africa was published in the January edition of SQI Quarterly, the English-language journal of SGI.

Written for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, SGI Quarterly describes the peace-building activities of SGI and other organisations and persons with similar philosophies. The article on South Africa describes the context in which SGI-SA started in the 1980s, and how it has developed up till the present day alongside tumultuous changes in the life of the ‘rainbow’ nation.

The same issue carries the experience of a South African member of building dialogue between opposing political parties during the stormy period of negotiations leading to South Africa’s 1994 political settlement.
