Isivivane, an ancient African custom, involved piling stones to form a cairn or beacon.
These not only served as memorials and landmarks for the traveller to find their way,
they also represented a metaphorical collective effort of many, towards a common goal.
Each passer-by engaged in the tradition of adding a stone to the pile, becoming part of the shared purpose.
The stones also carry messages of the ‘conflict memory’ of South Africa and memorialize the struggle and
liberation ideologies of the democratic South Africa.
Similarly, the CAGE Facility hopes to build Isivivane in order to signify commitment to solidarity,
peace-building through knowledge and oneness of purpose.
Through Isivivane, the CAGE Facility aims to build common purpose, contribute to knowledge, create conditions
for safety and greater protection and, remember those who have already fallen to conflict.
We hope you will add your stone and build with us...
