The Rivonia Circle, which was launched earlier this year as an unorthodox think tank to fill a vacuum where people had become generally divorced from political activity, is launching a political movement to contest the 2024 national elections.
"From this engagement, there was consensus from attendees that there was a need for a political movement. We then summarised our commitments towards achieving this movement in a pledge to each other," said Zibi.
He explained that the political movement would have its own steering committee and participants would expand the machinery to convene this new organisation. At the same time, the Rivonia Circle would retain its own separate identity as a think tank.
