  • Résumé

  • Action 24 - Active Citizens for Responsive Legislatures, an initiative co-funded by the European Union and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, has been engaging civil society organisations, the media, the Provincial Legislatures, and you - the citizens of South Africa - on ways that we can work together for a more effective governance system, in which our elected representatives ensure that the people have the last say when it comes to the decisions that affect their future. Every five years South Africans elect representatives to sit in Parliament and in the Provincial Legislatures. Both of these are fundamental institutions in our democracy. But what are they? Why are they important? And, how exactly do they work?

    Climate change: Causes, impacts, and what it means for South Africa

    In this episode, hosted by Nicole Rodel from African Climate Reality Project, we cover the science and impacts of the global climate crisis - and what it means for Mzansi.

    South Africa's greenhouse gas emissions are the fourteenth highest in the world - making the country a carbon criminal. Nicole from African Climate Reality Project, together with civil society on the frontlines of climate and environmental injustice, explore how the climate crisis is connected to the socio-economic issues that many South Africans are faced with today - and what we can do to solve it.

  • Follow the Money

    Follow the Money
    Nov 2 2019
    Have you ever heard sweeping statements during the pre-election day hype, that never quite come to fruition? Or maybe you want to find out if your elected representatives think your and your community’s needs are a priority? One way to see if our elected representatives mean what they say – and are fulfilling their mandate – is to follow the money.

    In this episode of The People’s Fix hosted by Fikile ‘DJ Fix’ Moeti, we get into the budget process, and how you can use budgets to monitor and influence your Provincial Legislature and the decisions they are making. This is how you can make sure that government is spending public money that we pay through taxes correctly and responsibly.

    With advice from South African civil society representatives, we walk you through some essential budget monitoring tips, so that you can be a more active citizen for responsive legislatures.

    List of Interviewees:
    - Vusi Ngqokomashe – Land Rights Organisation of South Africa
    - Siya Myeza – Environmental Monitoring Group
    - Sandile Nombeni – 360 Degrees Environmental Organisation
    - Thando Lukuko – Project 90 by 2030
