Can a national dialogue solve South Africa's problems?

The Truth

About this episode

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa wants people to come together and talk. He's launched a national dialogue process -- billed as citizen-led -- for South Africans from all walks of life to decide how to deal with challenges from crime and corruption to poverty and inequality. But critics say his party, the African National Congress, had 30 years in power to do just that. So, can a conference help to solve long-standing problems? Will the talks address the divisions in the ANC? And what’s the next chapter for South African politics?
