This article focuses on the idea of nonviolent resistance as a strategy of agitation and whether it can help to promote unity through communication in South Africa. By means of critical-analytical argumentation key aspects of nonviolent resistance are posited, placed in historical context, and applied to socio-political reality In South Africa. It is concluded that nonviolent resistance efforts create a greater awareness of stumbling blocks that impede the promotion of Ideal communication (as mutual understanding) among all the social groups in South Africa. However, the dilemma of organising nonviolent actions responsibly, that is in such a way that they do not violate the human rights of others, remains.
