In the Shade of the Palaver Tree

Derrik Marco's comments on my piece "Dialogue without contest: A table has no podium." refers to the conflict resolution practice in the Shade of the Palaver Tree. He kindly provided the link to the article by UNESCO Courier journalist Jasmine Sopova. The site is: http://www.unesco.org/courier/1999_05/uk/signes/txt2.htm. Derrick writes: Your request (for dialogue spaces -- ed.) is so timely - especially since the new challenges we face in SA."
