President Cyril Ramaphosa says the hosting of the upcoming National Dialogue will be driven by the people of this country. He was answering questions in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Ramaphosa says for the government, the dialogue will be hands off except for financial injection where it is necessary.
He says, "Let me make it very clear, it will be South Africans who will be talking to each other, meeting at ward level where even our voters, the people who voted for us, are represented. So they will be talking and they will not even be cajoled not to talk. They will opt to go to those meetings and participate. So it is to the detriment of us who are sitting here to say no, we are not going to participate."
