Cash for talks as service delivery collapses

The government has committed a staggering R700-million to the National Dialogue.

Organisers have been quick to label it as an 'investment', and a necessary step towards building a better South Africa.

But with deep social and economic challenges facing the country, many are questioning whether the money could have been better spent.

The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation was one of the organisations that initially called for a national dialogue, and has also raised concerns about the ballooning costs.

Is it a good idea for government to invest in these conversations or a waste of tax payers money?
