The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

The Day Mandela Died

0 comments

This memorial video is from footage shot by Mark Lurie on the Grand Parade, Cape Town, South Africa, December 6 2013, in front of City Hall where Nelson Mandela made his first speech after being released from prison. The pictures at the beginning are the filmmaker's and show South Africans singing in response to the death of this leader. At the end, there is a sequence of images from the New York Times celebrating events in President Mandela's life. The music is by Hugh Masakela.
