The Voters’ Festival
The Voters' Festival, held in Johannesburg on 28 May 2024, concluded with a powerful call to action, encouraging citizens to participate in democracy by celebrating freedoms and history.
Designed to inspire and mobilize voters ahead of the general elections on 29 May 2024, the Voters' Festival provided a platform for individuals to gather and engage in the political process. The event featured live music performances, thought-provoking discussions, voter education workshops, and interactive exhibits, all emphasizing the importance of civic engagement.
The People’s Parliament
The People’s Parliament is a voter education program committed to empowering citizens by providing crucial information on political manifestos and the electoral system.
The program is designed to encourage participatory democracy across all levels of government by equipping voters with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions.
Premier Candidate Workshops
The People's Parliament Workshop was a unique opportunity for citizens to actively participate in shaping the country's future. Participants had been assigned specific party manifestos to debate, providing a deeper understanding of each party's vision and policies.
For these gatherings, we were pleased to invite Premier candidates from Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape, representing various parties, to engage with young professionals and leaders. The manifesto debate was interactive, with candidates joining groups of participants, followed by a panel discussion.
We believed that by fostering open dialogue and understanding among citizens and political leaders, we could contribute to building a more capable and trustworthy government that remained accountable to the people.
