While the ANC holds roughly 40% of the national vote, it should no longer control 100% of South Africa’s foreign and economic policy levers.

Parliament must do its job: interrogate foreign policy choices, test economic strategy against real-world outcomes, and force accountability

One of the great hypocrisies of our government has been its ability - or at least its intent - to portray itself as a moral authority on the global stage, while failing to deliver even the most basic services back home.

Our local government elections will not be won on what a leader thinks about Israel and Gaza.

Hello everyone, here is some food for thought from CAN founder Jonathan Erasmus.

Bizarrely, in an era where news reports must be short and everyone is pressed for time, time still matters in how we formulate ideas.

From potholed roads in main centres, to stolen streetlights, stripped power cables, growing heaps of refuse, shacks popping up in spruits, hijacked buildings, vendors on nearly every corner trying to eke out a living, and an ever-growing army of bin pickers, the poverty, social decay, and infrastructural collapse are unlike anything I have seen unfold over such a short period of time. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsproject/p/from-district-9-to-elysium-johannesburgs?r=2nty3f&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

The annual IDP, budget and tariff increase cycle is underway for comment. Did you know less than 6000 people decided on the development plan for the City of Johannesburg last year? To have your say, this session allows you to ask questions to better inform your comment, why comment matters and how to get involved with the projects affecting your service delivery.

Join us for an exciting webinar as we unpack the IDP and explain how you can get involved!

🚨Your voice matters on how your municipality spends your money!

South Africans, it's time to take action. Your local municipality's draft budget for 2025/26 is open for public comment. These budgets may propose above-inflation rates and tariff increases, placing additional strain on already struggling communities. By law, you can review and comment on these proposals.

CAN empowers South Africans to challenge unfair rate hikes and influence local spending, holding municipalities to account.

🚨City of Tshwane, don't be charged unfairly on your property rates!

“The GVR process gives the property owner the opportunity to view the municipality’s valuation of their property, and to determine whether that is a fair value. If not, it gives the property owner the opportunity to challenge any discrepancies to ensure that their rates are just and affordable. There is a limited window for objections. If property owners do not engage, they risk being overcharged for years to come,” said Jonathan Erasmus, Project Manager at CAN.
