National Dialogue Debate – 23 February 2021

This is ITI's first podcast on the National Dialogue discussion. Prof Nick Binedell, the founding director of the Gordon Institute of Business Science facilitated this discussion. The proposal for a new ‘national dialogue’ was put on the table by the In Transformation Initiative, Democracy Works Foundation, Hanns Seidel Foundation, Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation and Gordon Institute of Business Science. Due to Covid-19, as well as the mismanagement and stagnation that were present well before the pandemic, South Africa has shed millions of jobs. Poverty has increased dramatically and there is a clear failure of leadership at various levels – in politics, business and civil society. The debate addressed many issues, such as the question as to whether or not the people in the middle ground, who have the wellbeing of South Africa at heart, will be able to forge a new consensus around how to fix the country. These were closed discussions, held virtually where over 70 of the country’s most prominent and influential thinkers and policymakers gave their inputs about the matters at hand. In this podcast, the views of Mavuso Msimang, Gill Marcus and Mmusi Maimane are shared.
