Service delivery in our country is a very big issue especially at municipal level. Interestingly, there’s a party contesting the elections having formulated their strategy and name around service delivery. Under the name Forum 4 Service Delivery, the party refers itself as a civic political movement which was founded in 2015 to deal mainly with issues at grassroots level. This year they are contesting the national elections in six provinces.

The Talking Point

Citizen Corner: Forum 4 Service Delivery

We continue the conversation this morning looking at where we are regarding a coalition or government of national unity as proposed by the ANC. Many are comparing this to the 1994 first democratic elections, but others argue that it is not the same. This has no doubt brought strain to the nation as political parties are not in agreement as to a way forward. So this morning we thought to look at what this does to us as a nation? What does it do to our psychology and why is it so difficult for the political parties to put the country first?

Guest: Dr Saths Cooper – President of the Pan African Psychology Union, former political prisoner and leader of the Black Consciousness Movement and a member of the 1970s group of activists

Guest: Prof. Ntsikelelo Breakfast - Professor of Political Sciences and the Director of the Center for Security, Peace and Conflict Resolution at Nelson Mandela University

South Africa’s democratic headache, is there light at the end of the tunnel?

As a country we have been so occupied by what’s happening in our political sphere that we forgot another burning issue of our energy transition. An article published in the MyBroadband website in May reminds us that South Africa is expected to propose a timeline for the shutdown of coal-fired power plants in a bid to secure about $2.5 billion in climate finance. If you may remember that under the agreement which was first announced in 2021, our country is said to receive assistance under certain conditions, one being that it cuts its dependence on coal, which accounts for four-fifths of the nation’s electricity output.
