The Dispatch Dialogues are a series of public debates and dicussions that the Dispatch has initiated in recent months in partnership with the University of Fort Hare and Walter Sisulu University. The objective is to provide a forum to air issues of interest to the community and find ways forward. The response from the public so far has been overwhelming and we have been bombarded by requests for more of these events. The Dispatch’s Leader Page Editor Dawn Barkhuizen organises these events.
