The Forum suggests that the R700 million allocated to the dialogue should instead go towards job creation, strengthening the NPA and fighting gender-based violence.
It's accused President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration of governing through talk shops instead of action.
Bishop Marothi Mashashane, President of the South African National Christian Forum, says that under the administration or presidency, there have been numerous commissions that have resulted in needless expenditure that no one is interested in implementing.
