As a panellist on Newzroom Afrika’s Daytime Update, CDE executive director Ann Bernstein provides her expectations for SONA 2025, highlighting the GNU’s lack of focus on policy reform. She noted, “the surprising thing about the GNU is how little discussion there has been about policy reform… and there seems to be a sense of complacency around that.” Her remarks follow CDE’s latest media release, State of the Nation Address: GNU Must Accelerate Much-Needed Reform.
