PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY HOLDS THE KEY TO SOCIETAL DEVELOPMENT

The law maker representing Bende North state constituency has called for overall participation of everyone and for all segments of the society to eschew apathy and participate fully in all aspects of democracy given its galvanising potency to drive innovation, growth and change in the development trajectories of the state.

He said this when he touched base at South African parliament while attending the 2023 Ziwani regional connect event in Stellenbosch, Cape Town South Africa; he opined that, this will lead to the ownership of the leader and in turn support for his vision and policies. This will equally lead to full participation and support for success at all the stages of the policy process- especially during the implementation stage which holds great benefit for the people.

The event which was well attended had Martin Kuscus a former MEC of Finance in the North West Provincial Government, a 2004 CEO of South African Bureau of Standards and a remarkable leader who played significant roles in shaping South Africa’s democratic landscape as the keynote speaker. Also in attendance was Dr Rudzani Muloiwa and a host of other scholars, entrepreneurs, CEOs and captains of industries.
