I chat to Rob Hutchinson, Chairman of Dear South Africa (DearSA), an established South African civil society organisation which facilitates public participation in government policy formation. We discuss DearSA's model for success, the history of the organisation, South Africa's rich collection of civil society organisations, the South African government saying organisations like DearSA "terrorize" them, and more.
Dear South Africa is a legally recognised and constitutionally protected non-profit platform which enables the public to co-shape all government policies, amendments and proposals. They have amassed an active participant network of over 900,000 individuals across the country and beyond. DearSA do not run petitions, but rather legally recognised public participation processes which allow citizens to co-form policy at all levels of governance.
