We also found out yesterday that the person acting as Head of Legal (for over 2yrs) at the RAF doesn’t have a law degree. There is also no Chief Claims Officer, two of the most important functions at the RAF.

I hereby announce that we will hold a National Dialoguenext year to enable a conversation among citizens onshaping our country’s future developmental path.

The National Dialogue will seek to build on the achievements of 30 years of democracy.

The National Dialogue will give us an opportunity to address the challenges we have been facing for the past 15 years of low growth and unemployment, poverty and hunger, poor governance, slow land reform and corruption.

We will also want the National Dialogue to addresspressing challenges such as gender-based violence and femicide, social fragmentation, racism, homophobia and sexism, violence and instability.

The National Dialogue will strengthen and consolidate the process of social compacting, where we come together as different sectors and communities to find common solutions.

It is envisaged that the National Dialogue will be informed by an extensive public consultation process in local areas organised by various sectors of society.

Since the announcement I made on the National Dialogue during my inauguration in June, we have received many representations from civil society, including foundations established by stalwarts of our struggle for freedom.

Further consultation is underway with other formations within society on the form and content of the National Dialogue.

In due course, I will appoint an Advisory Panel of Eminent Persons to provide guidance and advice through the National Dialogue Process.

The Advisory Panel will include men and women of stature who have played prominent roles in nation building and advancing social cohesion.

I will also appoint a National Dialogue Steering Committee to coordinate the National Dialogue process.

This Steering Committee will include representation from the Foundations that have played a leading role in championing the idea of the National Dialogue process, government, labour, business and the community constituency.

All the necessary structures and processes of the National Dialogue will be in place early in the new year so that the preparations can commence in earnest.

We expect that the National Dialogue will reach agreement on the critical challenges facing the nation.

It is expected to develop a shared vision of what it means to be a South African and of a common value system, that will guide current and future generations.

With a renewed commitment to social justice, economic empowerment, and cultural understanding, our country can continue to build on its achievements.

We can fulfil our destiny to be a truly reconciled, equal, caring and united nation.

Nothing breaks my heart more than when a waiter asks for his tip to be in cash so he can have transport money to go to and from work. Smart people, isn’t there a way where government subsidies transport for the work force in our country. I tell you if transport was close to free we would be able to free up more spend for bread winners.

None of my staff pay for their transport. I cover that. It’s not their fault they live so far from where they work. It really keeps me up at night shame.

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo
