The Centre for Unity in Diversity’s aims include promoting the constitutional rights of South Africa’s communities to preserve and develop their cultural, religious and linguistic identities within the framework of national unity; and promoting harmonious non-racial relations between all who live in South Africa. 

The CUD:

• Supports cultural, religious and linguistic rights, and works for national unity;

• Monitors developments that might affect inter-community relations;

• Opposes discrimination from any quarter;

• Participates in the national debate on inter-community relations and the rights of cultural, religious and linguistic communities.
