Says Styli Charalambous, CEO of Daily Maverick, "The initiative was created with the vision of bringing together great minds, a springboard for dialogue and speakers like no other. The South African electorate is starved of direct debate because of how our political systems are structured. This event brings the public closer to the people carving out the political landscape in our country. And more importantly, under the scrutiny of experienced journalists who are not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions that the voting public wants to know."

Internationally acclaimed comedian, John Vlismas, will take centre stage as the host and MC, along with Tumi Morake, by providing their satirical and incisive commentary between the series of heated panel debates and discussions.
