By Olmo von Meijenfeldt

The In Transformation Initiative, with facilitators Nomfundo Walaza and Chris Spies, has kindly asked Democracy Works Foundation to continue the ‘Passing on the Baton’ project it launched in April 2016.

The Institute for Justice and Reconciliation and Democracy Works have been implementing partners of this project since its conception.  The dialogue has been made possible with the kind support of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa.
