ANC veteran and chairperson of the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, Dr Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, says South Africa is in a political crisis.
The gathering aimed to announce plans for a national dialogue, intending to foster public engagement on the future of South Africa.
On Thursday, a group of leading foundations convened a press conference at Houghton Estate in Johannesburg. “What was set out when the democratic dispensation was established and the Constitution was adopted has not been achieved. I think we all agreed that there’s a lot more work to be done.“We started that with great enthusiasm and we made gains, but we have also lost some of those gains in recent years,” the ANC veteran continued.
Fraser-Moleketi added that an “inclusive” national dialogue was necessary in light of South Africa’s current climate.Steve Biko Foundation’s chief executive officer , Nkosinathi Biko, delivered a joint statement emphasising that the purpose of the dialogue was to forge a “common vision” for the future.
