Over the years, Tshwane has experienced changes in political leadership, coalition governments, financial pressures and ongoing service-delivery challenges. Each new administration comes with promises of recovery, renewal and better governance. But how much has actually changed in residents’ daily lives?

The latest water contamination crisis in Bronkhorstspruit has brought these questions into sharp focus. The City has acknowledged failures in treating the water and communicating the risks to residents, while the EFF has called for Mayor Nasiphi Moya to resign. Investigations are under way to establish responsibility. To help us unpack the state of Tshwane as we head to November 4th, we are joined by POWER Listeners, Jabulani and Benny.
