DDP Citizen Dialogue - Foundation Office South Africa
Discussion
Details
“I wanna lend a hand. Send me” - Newly elected President Cyril Ramaphosa, ended his state of the Nation address with these words, a quote from the late Hugh Masikela’s song, and in doing so threw down the gauntlet to all of the citizens in South Africa to be a part of this vision.
Our partner, the Democracy Development Program (DDP) hosted a citizen dialogue to unpack the challenge and what it means to civil society and ordinary SA citizens at the Elangeni hotel on the 14 March 2018. The dialogue was facilitated by DDP’S Executive Director Dr. Rama Naidu.
According to DDP, this dialogue was the first of many that will follow, similarly to engage and provoke South African citizens to act and follow Ramaphosa’s call to action to #Thumamina #send me.
