BAM Re-opens Talks

BAM hopes to broaden the scope of the talks by drafting in civil society organisations such as NGOs, pressure groups and worker's unions as permanent observers. But when contacted Setshwaelo said very little has happened so far because it has taken a while to contact other opposition leaders. He revealed that the leaders have now been contacted and presumably, they are consulting internally.

"I talked to Setshwaelo and he told me plans were underway to revive the talks and we will be prepared to go back to the negotiations table," said BPP president Bernard Balikani. He said BPP pulled out of the talks because the BCP refused to accommodate its ideas.
