# President Cyril Ramaphosa says the national dialogue is a key moment in South Africa’s democracy, urging all citizens to take part. The first national convention at the University of South Africa in Pretoria, with over one-thousand delegates, launched public discussions on issues affecting communities. Outcomes will be collected digitally and shape next year’s convention, which will outline a national vision and social plan. In his weekly newsletter, Ramaphosa said citizens should engage openly, even in disagreement, to find common ground and shape a better society.
