South African nonracialism comprises denial of race, singular nationality, and universal citizenship.

Evidence

In the context of South African politics, as Michael MacDonald’s useful critical survey reveals, nonracialism has meant three things, singularly or in combination. First, it is commitment to the claim that race has no reality, races do not exist, they are social fictions explaining nothing. Second, there should be a commitment to a singular nationality as unifying attachment, no matter the number and kind of subsumed subgroups. And third, nonracialism signals the commitment to negating racism and its effects, purging race from the explicit commerce of the state, and committing in principle and practice to universal citizenship. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1619
