In countries torn by conflict, political deadlock, or deep divisions, one idea keeps coming up again and again: the National Dialogue. It sounds simple bring everyone to the table, talk honestly, and find common ground. But as history shows, it can be anything from a lifeline that saves a nation… to a process that raises hopes only to dash them. Today we’re asking the big questions: What makes a national dialogue succeed where so many others fail? Can inclusive conversations really heal fractured societies? And what can nations in crisis today including our own learn from both the triumphs and the disappointments? We are joined by Makhethe Makamase.
