Making Mzansi Better is about writing a new chapter in the history of South Africa. We are at a crucial point in our history as a nation and we need to increase the space for open dialogue on matters that concern us. Civil society is a key player in social change and Mzansi is ripe for a change in the way we engage on policy that affects poor and marginalised people. Making Mzansi Better is currently focused on question and answer sessions asking ordinary and extraordinary South Africans and people in South Africa to share their views on questions that affect us all. We encourage respondents to be honest and clear. We want to know what people think, feel and want to see change in Mzansi, so that we can build a better country. To date we have spoken to a few people and many more are in the pipeline. Tomorrow, we have Sihle Khumalo, author of Dark Continent, My Black Arse who will share his views on leadership, AIDS and Ubuntu. Catch this session on http://www.forum.org.za
