Having restored peace and calm after last week’s events, government must work to restore the people’s trust. Asivikelane 19 outlines some recommendations on how they can do so.

The inaugural Asivikelane Health Release highlights the impact of community advocacy across 10 Buffalo City clinics where access to services and medicine has improved. Long wait times at clinics however remains a problem. In months to come we plan to expand this pilot and test the model in other clinics in the Eastern Cape.

Asivikelane Western Cape Release #3 is a red zone! 64% of residents reported that communal toilets are either blocked, damaged or non-functional. Alarmingly, it takes the municipality up to 3 months to fix toilets and taps say 60% of residents. The critical need for effective maintenance systems is emphasized again and especially at this crucial time as the third wave of Covid-19 is underway.

We take a detailed look at service delivery progress in Nelson Mandela Bay, eThekwini and Ekurhuleni. Click on the thumbnail below to access our Metro Releases page and view the full reports.
