Can a national dialogue solve South Africa’s problems?

Three decades after apartheid, the process aims to shape the nation’s next chapter of democracy.

He has set up a citizen-led national dialogue process to help South Africans from all walks of life choose how to tackle issues like poverty, corruption, and inequality.
