During his 70th birthday celebration in Johannesburg, Deputy Defense Minister Bantu Holomisa called on the current generation of young leaders in the country to come together irrespective of their political background to discuss how they can take the country forward.

“We need to understand, unpack and upgrade some of the policies including the economic situation of this country so that we talk about economic situation and review.”

During the celebrations, former president Thabo Mbeki echoed Holomisa’s sentiments and says he made the call for a National Dialogue during the celebrations of 30 years of democracy.
