The High Court in Johannesburg has reserved judgment in a case that the Labour Party of South Africa brought in an attempt to interdict the upcoming National Dialogue.
The party argues that the initiative is unlawful and unconstitutional.
In June, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the National Dialogue would take place on the 15th of August.
The partys interim president Joseph Mathunjwa says the National Dialogue will not address the countrys challenges.
We dont have a problem with the President speaking to the nation, but in fact, the issues they want to be discussed are the issues that were on their political agenda, so that the president avoids talking about those things within the framework of the constitution, which is Parliament.
