NATIONAL DIALOGUE STEERING COMMITTEE TO BE INDUCTED
CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE_EDITOR
The National Dialogue has entered its next phase with the induction of the Steering Committee set to take place between 17 and 18th January 2026 at the University of South Africa (Unisa)’s Muckleneuk’s main campus in Pretoria.
This follows the National Convention and the handover from the Convention Organising Committee.
The Steering Committee’s role is to steward the integrity of the process, ensure that participation is meaningful and accessible, and oversee a phased roll-out of dialogues across communities, sectors, and provinces. It is not a substitute for elected government, and it is not a platform for party-political campaigning.
The Steering Committee induction will focus on governance, ethics, decision-making protocols, public accountability, and the realities of rebuilding trust in a context where many South Africans are understandably sceptical of consultative processes that do not lead to change.
In addition, the Steering Committee induction will work towards outlining the practical roadmap for the implementation roadmap and phased plan for dialogues.
• A public participation guide, including offline options for communities with limited connectivity.
• An accessibility and translation pathway, to ensure participation across languages and disability contexts.
• A clear reporting and feedback approach so that communities can see what happens after dialogues take place.
• A weekly process update and a public log of priority issues raised and their status.
The National Dialogue Steering Committee would like to reiterate its position that it remains committed to a tansparent, inclusive, and non-partisan process which is citizen-led.
