Скачать или смотреть Ramaphosa’s National Dialogue Too Little, Too Late?

President Cyril Ramaphosa is pushing ahead with his R700 million National Dialogue, calling it the most important thing South Africa needs right now. But is it really a solution — or just an expensive political stunt?

In this episode, Mike Sham breaks down why the timing is all wrong, drawing parallels with South Africa’s 1983 referendum disaster under PW Botha — when a small, late concession only fueled more anger and unrest.

We explore:

1. Why a dialogue in 2018 or 2019 could have made sense — but 2024 is too late.
2. How the ANC ignored public outrage for years, only acting after losing its majority.
3. Why taxpayers might actually be funding the ANC’s next election campaign through this process.
4. What South Africans really want instead: action, accountability, and results.

This isn’t just about talking — it’s about power, timing, and whether the ANC can survive without real change.
