Podcasts about national dialogue

South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa has launched a national dialogue called “uniting voices, shaping the nation".

After an absence of four Sundays, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), was back on the Sunday Show today with Chris Steyn. Calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down, he says: “… Wake up, resign…Mr. Ramaphosa, can't you see the signs? Can't you see they don't like you? Can't you see that they are conspiring against you?” With legacy foundations deserting the preparatory task team of Ramaphosa's National Dialogue, De Beer says: “…slowly but surely all of them will leave the rat's cage”. Responding to the charge that he himself is spearheading the #ANCMustFall movement, De Beer says: “…the ANC is doing it themselves to themselves…” He urges both the President and his party to “Voetsek”. Commenting on the crisis in SAPS, he says: “I see ourselves having to totally, totally re-educate and totally rebuild the policing service of this country. They've annihilated themselves.” As for the latest Commission of Inquiry appointed by the President, De Beer says: “..they're not commissions, they're complications because they are a way that Cyril puts things aside…if we don't have civilian action against these people, we're not going to get action at all”.

On FRIDAY , Seven prominent legacy foundations proposed that the first National Convention, scheduled to be held next weekend from the 15th to the 17 of August , must BE postponed. The Steve Biko Foundation; Thabo Mbeki Foundation; Chief Albert Luthuli Foundation; Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation; FW de Klerk Foundation; Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation and the Strategic Dialogue withdrew their participation citing that core principles meant to underpin the whole National Dialogue have been violated in the rush to host the gathering. They added that the National Dialogue must be credible, principled, and anchored in public trust. The decision has cast a dark cloud on the much anticipated dialogue. Meanwhile , President Cyril Ramaphosa says there's nothing to worry about and that there's nothing political or untoward about the decision. To unpack this further Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Prof. Bheki Mngomezulu, Director of the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy (CANRAD) at Nelson Mandela University and Dr. Nkosikhulule Nyembezi, Policy Analyst and mediator Researcher at Election Monitoring Network

Bridging the gap between climate policies and practical implementation while highlighting collaborative strategies to address climate change challenges effectively.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has launched a scathing attack on DA Leader John Steenhuisen. This for the decision to withdraw from the National Dialogue. Ramaphosa's rebuke comes in the wake of former President Thabo Mbeki's open letter to Steenhuisen. The aim of the much talked National Dialogue is to bring South Africans from all walks of life together to discuss the kind of South Africa they want. Speaking on the side-lines of the state visit by Austrian President, Alexander van der Bellen at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Ramaphosa says the National Dialogue would probably be successful without the participation of the DA and its diversionary inputs.

DA federal chair Helen Zille has issued a stern warning to the ANC, stating the DA will not accept unilateral governance within the Government of National Unity. This follows President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision to dismiss Deputy Trade and Industry Minister, Andrew Whitfield. Zille says the DA will escalate its response each time the ANC acts independently in the GNU. While the DA remains committed to the GNU, it has withdrawn from the National Dialogue and is now considering a motion of no confidence against President Ramaphosa. For more Elvis Presslin spoke to Mrs. Zille

The ANC has vowed to reflect on the political implications of the DA's decision to withdraw from the National Dialogue following the dismissal of former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Andrew Whitfield. The DA has also called on civil society organisations to reconsider their support for the dialogue. Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa fired Whitfield for undertaking a US trip without authorisation. But DA leader John Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa's action was unfair as he fails to act against errant ANC ministers. Jon Gericke spoke to Moeletsi Mbeki, a political analyst.

R700 Million National Dialogue Sparks National Outrage Over Priorities and Representation by Radio Islam

In the latest Sunday Show with Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, and Chris Steyn of BizNews, a range of hot topics are on the agenda: President Cyril Ramaphosa telling Israel and Iran to enter into peaceful dialogue; Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana wanting full public funding for all political parties; the over R200 million spent on international travel by Cabinet members over the past year; Deputy President Paul Mashatile and his wife's accommodation in Japan costing R900,000 for four nights; military officials also splurging on world travel while the South African National Defense Force (SANDF) is sitting with a 41.2 billion Rand budget shortfall; the ongoing chaos at former President Jacob Zuma's MKP; the likelihood of Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Council Chair Helen Zille running for Jo'burg Mayor; the Eastern Cape African National Congress (ANC) denying that the regional office hid blankets destined for the victims of the recent disaster in Mthatha; the Bela Bill battle - and the need for a revision of the Constitution. De Beer also shares the results of his Twitter Poll in which 98.2% of respondents said “No” to the National Dialogue. And he delves into the feuds that may see former Zambian President Edgar Lungu buried on South African soil.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Harvard's Meghan O'Sullivan discusses potential US involvement in Israel-Iran tensions. Roman Cabanac breaks silence on his DA exit, revealing no apparent reason for his departure. DA's Karabo Khakhau probes ANC-linked SETA appointees. Critics slam Ramaphosa's R700m National Dialogue as elitist. WhatsApp embraces ads, and the Proteas return as Test World Champions.

In his latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), describes how SA is becoming another Colombia with the assasination of underworld kingpin André Naude. As for the R700-m National Dialogue, he lambasts President Cyril Ramaphosa for appointing “a pre-tactical team for the build-up to the ANC elections so that they can look good, so that the National Dialogue can in actual fact be this little poodle paraded by the president, run by the vice president with all these cohorts and selected people”. He discussed the “thunderbolt” defection of Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Liam Jacobs to the Patriotic Alliance (PA); the fall of Floyd Shivambu at former President Jacob Zuma's MKP where he had incurred the wrath of Duduzile; the way African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula - who has Presidential ambitions of his own - has poured scorn on those Patrice Motsepi-for-President rumours; the embattled Shamila Batohi's defence for the NPA's spectacular failures; International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola's condemnation of Israel's attack on Iran - and how SA might have contributed to Iran's enriched uranium stock. Meanwhile, De Beer calls for an urgent Referendum to ask for the removal of the current government and a snap new election “because I think this country, if it had an opportunity to say that we would like to have an urgent emergency intervention of a new election, I'll tell you that 90% of this country would say yes.”

President Ramaphosa has launched a National Dialogue to tackle SA’s crises — from unemployment to GBV. With public trust low and elections on the horizon, Zain Johnson speaks to political analyst Hlumelo Xaba about whether this will bring real change or just more rhetoric.

Live coverage: UPSA's Faculty of Accounting and Finance hosts a national dialogue focused on tackling tax revenue leakages in Ghana.

Former Managing Director of ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama, has revealed that there was virtually no investment made in the company during the first term of President Nana Akufo-Addo's administration.

The event will bring together a broad range of individuals, communities, local authorities, and organisations, all united in their efforts to address climate change. It will provide a platform for both newcomers and those already engaged in sustainability initiatives to network, share ideas, and collaborate. The aim is to strengthen Ireland's commitment to building a climate-neutral future and inspire more grassroots action to tackle the climate crisis. The conference will feature keynotes and presentations from a diverse group of speakers. Senator Malcolm Noonan, Green Party Senator, will deliver the keynote address on Restoring Nature as a Climate Action. Robert Mooney from the Department of Environment, Climate & Communication will discuss code signing Pathways to a Carbon Neutral Ireland through the National Dialogue on Climate Action. Elina Bardram, Director for Adaptation & Resilience, Communication, and Civil Society Relations, will also be delivering a message from DG CLIMA. The conference will also feature contributions from several EU Climate Pact Ambassadors, each bringing valuable insights into different aspects of climate action. For example, Dr Lydia Cumiskey, Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at the MaREI Centre, UCC, will share creative solutions for climate resilience, focusing on co-creating change with flood-affected communities. Dr Laura Kirwan, Sustainability Lead at Nutritics, will discuss improving efficiency and sustainability in food service and how the Foodprint Tool is transforming operations. Lydia Cuminsky, Climate Pact Ambassador, highlighted the importance of local action, saying: "As an engaged researcher, the EU Climate Pact Conference is an opportunity to connect with people interacting daily with communities around climate action. "I'm looking forward to sharing creative outputs from the Creative Ireland funded BluePrint project which highlight the power of creative and artistic processes bridging arts, science and government, for amplifying the voices and lived-experiences of flood affected communities while bridging connections with policymakers and building local capacity to strengthen climate resilience." The EU Climate Pact, which is part of the European Green Deal, is a grassroots initiative aimed at uniting individuals and groups across Europe in the fight against climate change. This conference is a vital step in furthering this movement and encouraging more sustainable practices across Ireland. See more stories here.
