The different religions are challenged to participate in the process of reconstruction. In many ways they can contribute positively towards the process. There are however also elements in religions which can hinder and obstruct the process. This article considers a number of perspectives in Islam, Hinduism, African Traditional Religion and Christianity which can have a positive or negative influence on the Reconstruction and Development Program in South Africa.AfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaSociety and religionReligion and culture -- South AfricaReconstruction and Development Programme (South Africa)Religious pluralism -- South AfricaArticle
