Launch of The Malibongwe Dialogues

Celebrating the role of women in society as part of Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday events

The Nelson Mandela Foundation seeks to contribute to a just society by promoting the vision and work of its Founder and convening dialogue around critical social issues.

Drawing on the contribution that Madiba, his colleagues and comrades made toward creating South Africa’s fledgling democracy, the Foundation’s Centre of Memory and Dialogue encourages people to enter into dialogue – often about difficult subjects – in order to address the challenges they face today.

The launch of The Malibongwe Dialogues, celebrating the role of women in society, is an annual event in partnership with the Department of Arts and Culture.
