PUBLIC FORUM PARLIAMENT AS A CONTESTED DIALOGUE SPACE IN IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Democracy Development Program (DDP) invites you to our next forum:   Parliament as a contested dialogue space in South Africa!   Robustness versus decorum, engagement versus confrontation, anarchy versus discipline. The emergence of the EFF as parliamentary opposition party has exposed the South African parliament to an unprecedented terrain which has become a centre of conversations and divergent views for most South Africans.   In preparation for the dialogue, ponder on the following questions: What is this new energy in parliament about? Does this pose a threat to our democracy, where we are forcing speakers and delegates to take a position? How can this breath of fresh air influence the often structured and flat parliamentary debates? How does this energy boost citizen’s demand for better governance and delivery of public services? How is this energy as alternative engagement for parliamentarians contributing towards greater transparency and accountability?You be the decider, your voice matters!   Join us for a citizen conversations about the manner in which the elected party representatives should engage on matters of national interest in Parliament.   Email us for more information or visit our website ddp dot org dot za  DATE  25 November VENUE Maharani Hotel, Durban TIME
