Africa-Press – South-Africa. A task team has been appointed to lead preparations for the upcoming National Dialogue.
This week, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the dialogue, which will include public engagement sessions, will take place on 15 August 2025.
The preparatory task team held a media briefing in Johannesburg on Friday to outline the planning.
The team responsible for preparing the national dialogue includes representatives from the National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC), The Presidency, and various national foundations.
It is chaired by Nkosinathi Biko, executive trustee of the Steve Biko Foundation, with Lindiwe Gadd from the Chief Albert Luthuli Foundation serving as deputy chair.
Biko says alongside the national convention scheduled for August, public engagements remain the most crucial aspect of the National Dialogue.
“The first national convention shall be a gathering of representatives of the broadest range of South Africans, whose task is to set a broad agenda and fine-tune processes of the public engagements.”
The ultimate goal is to develop a 30-year action plan through this dialogue that will guide South Africa onto the right path.
