A traditional Southern African gathering of community leaders for

|
deliberation on a matter of shared concern. Originating in Nguni
|
|
(including Zulu) practice, the indaba is a structured forum for chiefs and
|
|
senior members to discuss until consensus is reached.

|
|
description: >-
|

A senior leader calls the indaba, setting the topic and ensuring all
|
|
affected groups are represented by their recognised spokespeople.
|
|
- headline: Open statements
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each representative gives an opening position on the matter, heard in
|
|
full without interruption.
|
|
- headline: Open deliberation
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Discussion proceeds among the representatives, with the convener
|
|
ensuring that senior voices do not dominate and that dissent is voiced
|
|
respectfully.
|
|
- headline: Seek a common position
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The convener works toward a position that all can accept, summarising
|
|
points of agreement and continuing until none object.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce the outcome
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The senior leader pronounces the agreed position, which becomes the
|
|
binding decision of the indaba.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A binding communal decision reached through inclusive deliberation, with
|
|
all represented groups accepting the outcome.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Indaba takes the time it takes; rushing it breaks the form. The convener's
|
|
skill lies in drawing out quiet voices and synthesising rather than
|
|
imposing. |
