The inaugural Drakensberg Inclusive Growth Forum hosted by the Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation brought together individuals from the government and public sector, civil society, trade unions, business and private sector to discuss issues on land reform, state capture, youth inclusion and economic growth. President Motlanthe shared that the forum marks a shared belief in the future of South Africa and is integral to the advancement and the deepening of a democratic culture. “The people, leaders and organisations gathered here in the Drakensberg represent a unique cross-sectional view of South African society. The Forum and this annual gathering serve as a way to strengthen democracy through multilateral strategies.”
