This morning we unpack or examine the crisis in South African municipalities. The latest Auditor General report found that there were no clear improvement in audit outcomes, financial management, service delivery performance, accountability, transparency or institutional integrity. Only 151 government entities received unqualified audits out of 417. Professor Joseph Sekhampu, Chief Director of the North West University Business School says hundreds of local councils operate as if the Constitution demanded their existence but not their viability. He says South African municipal landscape is not collapsing in a single moment of crisis. It is eroding in slow motion and that the Auditor General's warnings that only a small fraction of municipalities remain functionally stable no longer sound like outliers, they describe the system. Meanwhile, in April this year President Cyril Ramaphosa called for urgent reforms to unlock local economies, warning that poor governance at municipal level is undermining service delivery and stifling economic growth. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Joseph Sekhampu, chief director of the North West University Business School

South Africa cannot discuss illegal employment, economic reform, and social stability without confronting the uncomfortable truth at the centre of it all: millions of young South Africans still have no credible pathway into work. This, according to Thembi Chagonda, Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions and a commissioner on the Employment Equity Commission representing business. She further adds that every June, South Africa honours the courage and contribution of young people. But for a young person sitting at home without work, training, income, or a realistic next step, commemoration is not enough. The Human Sciences Research Council also hosted a youth dialogue this week to examine past and present struggles. It says that although the challenges may differ, today’s youth still face systemic barriers. To unpack this and more, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Thembi Chagonda, Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions and commissioner on the Employment Equity Commission representing business, and Nompendulo Mkhatshwa, Fees Must Fall activist.
