New Agenda 100 | The National Dialogue now faces a challenge from within its founding party. Can ANC leadership can still negotiate a better future?
Despite decades of colonialism, land dispossession, apartheid exploitation, and protracted armed struggle, South Africans are willing to talk to each other; negotiation is a hallmark of our post-apartheid society. Now that’s being put to the test. The National Dialogue was mandated to confront the intractable triple crises of unemployment, poverty, and inequality, but it faces another challenge from deep within the party that created it. TONY EHRENREICH asks if the ANC leadership, crippled by corruption and greed, is still up to negotiating a way to a better future.

ARI SITAS examines the unfolding process that has created the current disastrous instability and friction, and argues for the need for creative efforts to transform the catastrophic reality into an inclusive developmental world order.
