Public Political Forum with Aubrey Matshiqi - Foundation Office South Africa
Forum
Details
“The best part of the speech for me was the quoting of the Thuma Mina song by the late Hugh Masikela, the speech gave me no Idea of the South African position in the world”. This was said by political analyst and research fellow at the Hellen Suzman Foundation Aubrey Matshiqi, at the Democracy Development Program (DDP) and Diakonia SONA (State of the Nation Address) dialogue last week.
Originally planned for February 13th, the event was rescheduled following the postponement of the SONA after the election of President Ramaphosa on February 15th 2018.
The forum was a collaborative effort by these two Durban based Civil Society Organisations to convene the KZN citizens on the contents of the SONA to go beyond the president’s speech and analyse what it means for ordinary South Africans and the civil society sector.
Matshiqi focused on the Thuma mina challenge by President Cyril Ramaphosa with specific emphasis on who should be sent and by whom.
