A heated debate is unfolding as analysts raise concerns over the exclusion of several influential foundations from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s National Dialogue initiative.
Critics argue that key groups have been sidelined precisely because they voiced criticism against Ramaphosa’s leadership, sparking questions about the inclusivity and transparency of the process aimed at uniting South Africa.
Experts warn that leaving out these critical voices risks undermining the very purpose of the National Dialogue, which is meant to foster broad-based participation and shared vision for the country’s future.
As the National Convention approaches, all eyes will be on how these tensions are managed — and whether the dialogue can truly bring the nation together.
