Emfuleni’s by-election won’t fix its worsening service delivery crisis
Loading player...
In a preview for the November municipal polls, the people of Beverly Hills in Evaton in the Vaal municipal district of Emfuleni are voting for a new ward councillor this Wednesday. This outcome may not change much, though, argues roving journalist Ntwagaae Seleka, because the service delivery crisis throughout Emfuleni has only worsened in recent months. Rubbish piles are only getting higher, sewage flooding is only getting deeper, and residents are only getting more fed up. Later in the show, Joburg and Cape Town’s budget rates increases are both firmly in the spotlight. Plus; Madiba arrived on Robben Island for the very first time, with On This Day in SA History.
