# The convention organising committee says the first national convention of the national dialogue was citizen-led, iterative in nature, with robust engagement. Over one-thousand delegates from more than 200 organisations attended the two-day convention held on Friday and Saturday at the University of South Africa in Tshwane. Key themes for discussion included the economy, jobs, crime and corruption, education, health, and gender-based violence and femicide. The organising committee says there will be a six-to nine-month dialogue for national engagements, with a mandate to call for radical change.
