BNC#6: Duvenage Q&A - Holding government accountable, fixing SA's broken system

The Q&A session at BNC#6 in Hermanus between Alec Hogg and Wayne Duvenage delved into the need for leveraging the constitution and rule of law to hold municipalities accountable for their duties. Duvenage highlighted examples where communities have taken legal action against municipalities to compel them to fulfil their obligations. They discussed the importance of citizen involvement in local politics and the shortcomings of big business in supporting civil society initiatives. Duvenage emphasised the power of collective action in driving change and suggested alternative methods for funding activism. The dialogue also touched on the potential outcomes of upcoming elections, with predictions of decreased support for the ANC and potential growth for smaller parties.
