The discussion also explored the policies in place that advance equality but have not translated into implementation in the last two government administrations. Some examples of this were access mainstream education, public transport, employment opportunities, basic public infrastructure, and healthcare.

Does teaching history open or heal a nation’s wound?

Today, we focus on the manifesto of the GOOD Party who launched their election manifesto last month in Johannesburg. This is their second manifesto since its formation in 2018 and won two seats in parliament in their maiden election campaign in 2019 national elections.

In their second election campaign, the party has shared their concise thirteen page manifesto with overarching theme of good governance as key to eradicate corruption. The four pillars of this manifesto are social justice, economic justice, spatial justice and environmental justice to rebalance the vast inequalities that still exist 30 years after the dawn of the democracy. In building a more inclusive South Africa, GOOD proposes to address homelessness, corruption, unemployment, crime, land reform, introduce a basic income grant, reform early childhood development and service delivery. 

Guest: Brett Herron - Member of Parliament and Secretary General of the GOOD Party
