After recent national meetings and discussions - It has become evident that we need a critical review of the #OGP context in #SouthAfrica. Recalling NB reflections from @Jablet @ZeeNgamlana @KLONGKIE @Afesiscorplan @ODAC_SA. So where to from here...? #opengov #co-production

[Open Democracy @ODAC_SA]

@TiyaniTee @KLONGKIE @qdelwa @AndisileBest @MuziN1 @pplantinga @PSchoonraad South Africa has indefinitely postponed its own overdue fourth National Action Plan - will this be impetus to move forward in spite of the elections?
