The national dialogue is neither national nor a dialogue - but it can become that (Part One)

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -a-dialogue-but-it-can-become-that-part-one.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, January 14th 2025 at 15:01 GMT by MSN}

Why a national dialogue and what does it mean? How will it be determined who is involved, what is entailed or what is meant by inclusivity? Will it be an elite conception of inclusivity, of so-called 'opinion makers'?

The article discusses the National Dialogue in South Africa, which is intended to address the country's political and social issues but is criticized for not being truly national or dialogic. It highlights that the dialogue has been largely dominated by political parties, particularly the ANC, rather than being a broad, inclusive conversation involving civil society, business, labor, and other stakeholders. The author argues that for the dialogue to be effective, it must become more inclusive, transparent, and genuinely participatory. It should not just be a platform for political parties to negotiate power but a space where all South Africans can contribute to shaping the nation's future. The piece suggests that the dialogue needs to move beyond its current limitations to foster a real national conversation that could lead to meaningful reforms and unity.
