South African President Cyril Ramaphosa acknowledged that the country continues to face significant challenges on its journey toward reconciliation, despite the progress made since the end of apartheid.
Speaking at a National Reconciliation Day event, Ramaphosa highlighted the persistent issues of poverty, unemployment, and inequality that continue to divide South African society.
He emphasized the need for a fundamental transformation to create a just and equitable nation.
To address these challenges, the South African government is planning to hold a national dialogue next year.
This platform will provide an opportunity for citizens to discuss the country’s future and develop strategies for overcoming the legacy of apartheid.
Ramaphosa stressed the importance of addressing issues such as gender-based violence, racism, and social fragmentation to build a more inclusive and harmonious society.
As South Africa moves forward, it is crucial to learn from the past and work towards a future free from the injustices of the past.
