ELECTION PROMISES ARE CHEAP: WHO HOLDS POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE AFTER THE VOTES ARE COUNTED?

Every election, South Africans hear the same promises: jobs, housing, better services and an end to corruption. But once the votes are counted, how often do politicians return to explain what they've actually delivered? With another election approaching, social justice activist Imraahn Ismail-Mukaddam is challenging voters to look beyond political personalities and party loyalties, and start demanding measurable accountability. He argues that democracy means very little if the people struggling to afford food, electricity and basic necessities see no meaningful improvement in their lives.
